1/12/11 Lo: SWBAT draw Lewis Dot Structures for molecules which have resonance structures. Lab: Is It a Single or Double Bond?Or Both H, Be, B, N can all end up with less than an octet. B and Be are electropositive compared to nonmetals. They do not make double or triple bonds. They do not have the ability to take electrons from more electronegative nonmetals. N can end up with an odd number of electrons. I WRONG: each orbital can only hold 2 electrons. This represents 3 electrons per orbital. CO3 -2 Three possible Lewis Dot structures for carbonate, depending on where the double bond is. ( on the test either of the three will be correct). These represent the three resonance structures

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using!
