H:Si:H (left and right side) H:Si:H (top and bottom) Silicon forms covalent bonds with 4 hydrogens. This completes the octet of silicon which has 4 valence electrons. Hydrogen is also stable because it needs 2 valence electrons to stabilize its "octet" because it only has a 1s orbital.

How do you draw the Lewis structure for an acetate ion?
I uploaded a jpg of the acetate ion Lewis structure to imageshack. Just click the "related link" below and you should see it. Many people draw Lewis Structures with minor variations, but this should give you the basic idea.
What is the Lewis dot structure of CaH2?
Calcium hydride, or CaH2, forms an orthorhombic lattice structure. For a Lewis structure of a single CaH2 molecule, simply place the Ca atom in the center single bonded to two H atoms.
What other elements is similar to the Lewis dot structure of silicon?
carbon, germanium, tin, lead

Do XeF4 have a Lewis structure?
Yes, XeF4, or xenon tetrafluoride, has a Lewis structure.
Does CaCO3 have a Lewis structure?
No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.
Lewis structure of K2O?
