Journal Entry:

Draw the Lewis dot structure for these two covalently bonded molecules.  Cl₂ and O₂ Explain how you arrived at your answer

Learning Intentions

• We will learn how to apply the octet rule to predict bonding in molecules.

Closing Task:

You can draw the Lewis dots structures and structural formulas for molecules that contain double and triple bonds. 

Content Standards being covered:

Student understands why bonding occurs between atoms, what types of bonds form when different elements interact, how the bonds form and properties that arise as result of the bond forming.
