Introduction
Not only is it important to be able to name molecules, but there is much to be learned from being able to represent them on paper as well. The process of making electron dot diagrams allows us to see the transfer or sharing of electrons in a very simplified way. Today you will learn about this technique of representing valence electrons and bonding.
