The rule to build the Lewis Structure is based on chemists' experience: The most important requirement for the formation of a stable compound is that atoms achieve noble gas electron configurations by sharing electrons with other atoms, i.e.
It is also called Lewis Dot Symbol, which consists of the symbol of an element and one dot for each valence electron in an atom of the element.

The Lewis Structure (electron dot diagram) of each ion is used to construct the Lewis Structure (electron dot diagram) for the ionic compound.
In a covalent compound, electrons are shared between atoms to form a covalent bond in order that each atom in the compound has a share in the number of electrons required to provide a stable, Noble Gas, electronic configuration.
Electrons in the Lewis Structure (electron dot diagram) are paired to show the bonding pair of electrons.

 VSEPR
Because electrons tend to pair with one another if their spins are opposed, we can modify the idea to say that pairs of electrons tend to adopt a geometry that minimizes repulsions.
The geometry is determined by the tendency of the electron pairs around the central atom to minimize repulsions.
For example, even though the geometry of the electron pairs around the oxygen in water is tetrahedral, it is the position of the atoms that leads to the description of bent for the geometry of water.

For example, a hydrogen chloride (HCl) molecule is an electric dipole because bonding electrons are on average closer to the chlorine atom than the hydrogen, producing a partial positive charge on the H end and a partial negative charge on the Cl end.
If electron density at a particular point in a molecule is higher or lower than what you'd expect from a single Lewis structure, and various canonical structures can be drawn to show how electron delocalization will explain the discrepancy, the difference in electron density is called a "resonance effect" or "mesomeric effect".

 Research News:
On the contrary, the dielectric function of a quantum dot, measured on the microscopic scale, is virtually the same as that of the bulk material -- except near the dot's surface.
In the smaller dots, measurements near the center of the dot were still similar to the bulk measurements -- but varied significantly where the perturbation vanishes, near the surface.
Measured microscopically, the dielectric function inside a quantum dot is the same as it is in the bulk material; measurements near a perturbation in the center of the dot show no significant difference, but in a small dot the differences are large near the boundary.

Since the single lone pair of electrons associated with the nitrogen atom exerts a repulsive force greater than that of the three bonding pairs of electrons in the ammonia molecule, the nitrogen-hydrogen bonds are “pushed downward” and the angle is slightly smaller than in the normal tetrahedral molecule.

Lewis dot structures are useful in explaining the chemical bonding in molecules or ions.
When several structures with different electron distributions among the bonds are possible, all structures contribute to the electronic structure of the molecule.
For resonance structures, the skeleton of the molecule (or ion) stays in the same relative position, and only distributions of electrons in the resonance structures are different.

When Lewis dot diagrams are used for compounds, "x's" are often used to substitute for the dots of one or more elements in order to show which electrons came from which element.
