i badly need help.. chemistry is torturing me...?

Question

how is lewi's structure done?

Answer 1

I have no clue, I have a 'F' in the class at the moment. First F in my life!!!

I'm desperate!!!

Answer 2

Do you mean the lewis dot diagram?

dots are drawn around an atom to represent lone electrons. Dashes are used to represent a bond (2 electrons). Two dashes for a double bond and so on.

It isn't actually difficult once you get used to it, its a very helpful system for when chemistry gets a little more complicated.

Here's a links with some better help

Answer 3

This can't be done in a simple answer over Yahoo! answers. You have to be shown how to do it. To learn it this way would require that you use Yahoo! messenger to establish a 2 way instant communication and get from your emails attached diagrams. I can draw them and scan them on the Dell All-in-one printer and email you diagrams. I'm willing to do this for you to teach Lewis structures. I'm a pro at them.

Answer 4

Lets say you want to draw Lewis structure of one atom of oxygen O.
Oxygen is in group 6 which means it has 6 electrons in its outer most shell: 2 electrons in S2 and 4 in P2 , which means that in P2 you have one pair of electrons and 2 single ones.
You right the elements symbol, in this case O in the middle and arrange the electrons of its most outer shell around it using lines for paired electrons and dots for single ones. In case of oxygen you will have 2 lines on 2 sides of the O and 2 single dots on the other sides.

Answer 5

Go to " Lewis structure ", on wikipedia. Chemistry can't torture you, you only torture yourself.
