How to Draw Simple Lewis Structures - Based on Number of Valence Electrons (Octet Rule) Tutorial

In this chemistry tutorial video, we will look at how to draw Lewis structures for simple molecules that follow the octet rule. We will first look at the periodic table to gather two pieces of information: how many valence electrons each element has, and how many covalent bonds each element will typically form when bonding. We will use these two pieces of information in order to draw simple lewis structures for molecules like CO2, O2, N2, and more.
