Ionic Lewis Structure Activity
In this activity we will be modeling what an Ionic Bond is using cereal to represent the valence
electrons. Please follow the following steps for modeling what occurs in the following ionic
compounds:
1. Draw the element’s symbols in the designated box.
2. Assign the proper number of valance electrons (Cereal) to each original element
3. Make an ionic bond to create a balanced neutral compound by moving a valence electron
(Cereal)
4. Draw the correct Lewis Structure in the box below.
5. Write the formula or name of the compound.
