Draw the Lewis Structure for CH3
[Carbon is the central atom, surrounded by 3 hydrogens. Carbon should have a full octet as well.]
The number of electrons the p orbital can hold
What are 6 electrons
[BONUS] The atom with the largest atomic radius
The determination of whether a bond is polar/nonpolar/ionic depends on this factor
What is electronegativity
The symbol for the spin quantum number
What is "ms"
The steps to drawing a successful Lewis Structure
What is:
1) Find the total number of valence electrons
2) Draw the skeleton structure using single bonds
3) Use the remaining valence electrons
4) Create double bonds if octet rule is not fulfilled
