  • Lewis structures

    Lewis electron dot structures are crucial because they visually represent the valence electrons of atoms, helping to predict molecular bonding, structure, and reactivity in chemistry. This resource contains all you need to know to get started with these structures. Lewis structures, also known as electron dot structures, are diagrams that...

  • Quantum numbers

    Quantum numbers are used to describe orbitals. They serve as an "address" for locating an electron within an atom, specifying its energy level, shape, orientation, and spin. Therefore, they provide a detailed understanding of the regions in an atom where electrons are likely to be found, which is crucial for...

  • Quiz – Covalent bonding and Lewis structures

    Covalent bonding is a fundamental concept in chemistry that explains how atoms share electrons to form molecules. Molecular substances can be represented using Lewis structures. Test your understanding of Lewis structures and covalent compounds with this quiz. Your turn – covalent bonding and Lewis structures Draw the Lewis structures of...

  • The electron

    Electrons are fundamental subatomic particles with a negative electric charge. They play a crucial role in many aspects of science and technology. Bohr planetary (particle) model and Schrödinger's wave mechanical model Electrons have historically been described as tiny particles that revolve around the nucleus in circular orbits similar to the...
