Read each question carefully and provide the best answer. Show your work where necessary.
1. What do the dots in a Lewis Dot Diagram represent?
Protons
Neutrons
Valence electrons
Core electrons
2. How many valence electrons does an oxygen atom have?
2
4
6
8
3. The rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons.
4. In a Lewis Dot Diagram, a pair of shared electrons between two atoms represents a bond.
5. Draw the Lewis Dot Diagram for a nitrogen atom (N).
6. Explain why noble gases typically do not form chemical bonds, in terms of their electron configuration.
7. All elements aim to achieve a duet of electrons in their outermost shell.
True
False
8. The central atom in a Lewis structure is usually the least electronegative atom.
True
False
