    CHEMICAL BONDING

    Lewis’s theory follows:

    1. Electrons, especially those of the outermost (valence) electronic shell,


    play a fundamental role in chemical bonding.

    2. In some cases, electrons are transferred from one atom to another.


    Positive and negative ions are formed and attract each other through
    electrostatic forces called ionic bonds.
    Gilbert N. Lewis :
    Gilbert N. Lewis published a paper about chemical bonding in 1916 with
    the title «The atom and the molecule» (Lewis, 1916).
    He describes the concepts of electron arrangements. His theory about
    bonding is based on the number of outer shell electrons (valence
    electrons) in an atom.
    He suggested that when two atoms shares a pair of electrons, they form a
    chemical bond. Lewis dot diagrams are still in use today.

    electrons, they form a chemical bond.

    Lewis Symbols and Lewis Structures

    A Lewis symbol consists of a chemical symbol to represent the


    nucleus and core (inner-shell) electrons of an atom, together with
    dots placed around the symbol to represent the valence(outer-shell)
    electrons.

    Thus, the Lewis symbol for silicon, which has the electron
    configuration , is [Ne]3s23p2
    Octet Rule

    Most elements follow the octet rule in chemical bonding, which means
    that an element should have contact to eight valence electrons in a
    bond or exactly fill up its valence shell. Having eight electrons total
    ensures that the atom is stable.
    Octet Rule

    Having eight electrons total ensures that the atom is stable. The noble
    gases have the most stable configuration (full octet, no charge),
    so they have no reason to react and change their configuration.
    They rarely form compounds.
    All other elements attempt to gain, lose, or share electrons to
    achieve a noble gas configuration.
