Lewis Structures/Covalent Bonding

Pairs of electrons that are attached to only one atom are known as...

True or false - all atoms strive to have 8 valence electrons, there are no exceptions

• true

• false

The first step of writing a Lewis dot structure for covalent bonds is what?

Why did oxygen get the remaining (non bonded) electrons, and not hydrogen?

Why did you have to use a double bond instead of a single bond here?

What is the maximum number of covalent bonds formed?

• single

• double

• triple

• quadrupole
