Lewis structures, also known as Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures, are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.

What is Lewis symbols/Lewis dot structure?
- In the formation of a molecule, only the outer shell electrons take part in the chemical combination and they are known as valence electrons.
- The inner shell electrons are well protected and are generally not involved in combination process.
- G.N Lewis, an American chemist introduced simple notations to represent valence electrons in atom. These notations are called Lewis symbols.
- The Lewis dot structure provide a picture of bonding in molecules and ions in terms of the shared pairs of electrons and the octet rule.
