In the beginning of class,we marked and went over 5-1 and 6-4.
We reviewed how to do lewis dot diagrams.

Covalent bonds
-electrons shared between non
- To draw lewis dot diagrams
1. Total all valence e- in all atoms
2. Identify the element that can form the most bonds. this will be the central
atom.
3. Draw bonds between atoms as a line. This represents 2 e-.
4. Any e- not part of a bond are lone pairs around the atom
5. Check to make sure each atom has a full octet.exception for hydrogen it has
two.
Mr. Doktor did a demonstration and showed a piece of sodium.It had a shiny finish to it. it has a high melting point. He put the piece of sodium into a glass filled with hydrogen.He tried to accomplish an explosion.
