1. Identify the Number of Valance Electrons and Draw the Lewis Dot Structure
Notes: Scientists use Lewis Dot Structures to show the valance electrons of an element as dots. Since
bonding involves the valance shell electrons only, it is only necessary to illustrate those outer electrons.

Making Ions Ionic Bonds are made of Ions. A strong understanding of Ions is needed.
Notes: Remember that Metals tend to lose their electrons, falling back to their inner octet, becoming
smaller, forming positive cations. Nonmetals tend to gain electrons, filling up their current energy levels,
becoming larger, forming negative anions. Complete the chart below.
