  Lewis structure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lewis structures, also called electron-dot structures or electron-dot diagrams, are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.

 Lewis Structure and Resonance
Lewis Structure - The Lewis Structure (Electron-Dot) of a molecule or polyatomic ion shows how the valence electrons are arranged among the atoms in the molecule or ion.
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.

 Chemical bonding: covalent bond
Although Lewis originated the idea of the electron-pair bond, much of the credit for its early acceptance must go to Irving Langmuir, who extended it somewhat and enthusiastically popularized it to the extent that it began to be known as the Lewis-Langmuir theory, and even (to Lewis' annoyance) as the “Langmuir theory”.
Lewis sought a way of achieving this octet in a way that did not involve ion formation, and he found it in his shared electron-pair theory published in 1916.
Lewis’ idea that the electrons are shared in pairs stemmed from his observation that most molecules possess an even number of electrons.

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.

 Lewis Dot Structures
A Lewis symbol is a symbol in which the electrons in the valence shell of an atom or simple ion are represented by dots placed around the letter symbol of the element.
Note that the lewis symbols are the same for all the elements of a group since they all have the same number of valence electrons.
Instead of using two dots to indicate the two electrons that comprise the covalent bond, a line is substituted for the two dots that represent the two electrons.

 Jackson Lewis - DOT Proposes Revised MIS Forms for Annual Reporting of Drug and Alcohol Testing Data
DOT proposes to standardize the collection of data for each operating administration through the use of a one-page MIS data collection form, which would replace the E-Z Drug Form, the E-Z Alcohol Form, the Long Drug Form and the Long Alcohol Form.
DOT intends to place the new MIS form and instructions for completing it into its drug and alcohol testing rules, 49 CFR Part 40, and will remove the forms and instructions from all of the operating administrations' individual regulations.
DOT also proposes to clear up the discrepancies among operating administrations regarding how their regulated companies are to determine the total number of employees against which the annual random rate applies.

 Lewis Dot Strucutres   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Lewis realized that atoms only used their "outer" electrons (also called "valence" electrons) in chemistry and set up a simple bookkeeping tool to help keep track of electrons and make simple predictions about bonding of compounds.
For most compounds, Lewis dot pictures are used to establish whether atoms have an octet of electrons (two for hydrogen, helium and lithium).
Remember, the picture in Lewis dots does not imply anything about the actual structure of the molecules although this information can be used with VSEPRT to predict structures.
