The document provides examples and practice problems for students to determine bond types between atoms, complete Lewis dot diagrams for elements and compounds, and predict chemical formulas using dot diagrams. Students are asked to identify ionic and covalent bonds, draw dot structures showing electron transfers for ionic bonding and shared pairs for covalent bonding, and write the corresponding chemical formulas. The document contains multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and drawing questions to help students practice these chemistry concepts.
