Warmup
On the paper I give you, do the following with your elbow partner:
- On the bottom of the paper, draw the Lewis dot structures for C, O and H. Forget what those are??….grab your periodic tables and see if you can figure them out!!
- On your Lewis dot structures, highlight which electrons you think are bonding in blue and nonbonding in yellow. (Hint: of the three only oxygen has non-bonding electrons)
- Write a chemical formula for the molecule. Name this molecule.
- Highlight the NON-POLAR covalent bonds yellow, POLAR covalent blue. Why are there no ionic bonds here?
- Draw the dipole moments for each bond +-->
- Compare the Lewis dot structures and the structural model. Where are the bonding valence electrons represented on the structural model? Draw them in.
- Add the non-bonding electrons to the structural model.
- Using the model kit what atoms do you think the red, black, and yellow balls represent? How do you know that? Write this on the back of your paper.
