Is there a way to draw Bohr diagrams for diatomic molecules?

It can't be done.


NACL3 Lewis structure?

A couple problems with this question: 1. There is no such compound as NaCl3. 2. Sodium is an alkali metal and Cl is a halogen, and the two would always form the ionic compound NaCl, not a covalent compound. You cannot draw Lewis structures for ionic compounds. You can draw Lewis electron diagrams for the individual ions (Na+ and Cl-), but not a structure for the ionic compound.


Why are Homo-Nuclear Diatomic Molecules the way they are?

Homonuclear diatomic molecules reflect a certain stability which results from each of the two component atoms achieving a full octet of electrons. Hydrogen pairs up to fill its 1s level (which only holds 2 electrons,) forming a single covalent bond, which is hydrogen's only bonding option. The halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine) each share their unpaired electrons as a pair, resulting in a single covalent bond between them. Oxygen shares two pairs of electrons with another, resulting in a double covalent bond. Nitrogen shares three pairs, resulting in a triple covalent bond. If you draw Lewis structures for each, you'll see that this results in a full octet (8 electrons) for each atom, which gives them noble gas electron configuration, which allows them to be more stable.


How do you create Lewis dot structures on Microsoft word?

Using the Draw tool can make the circles that you then fill in with black. You can then resize them how you like and then copy for each set.
