Add charges, single electron dots, and/or pairs of dots asappropriate to show the Lewis symbols for the most stable ion ofeach element. Treat as the valence shell in all cases. To addformal charges, click the button below (which will turn yellow whenactivated) before clicking on the molecule. You may need to hitEnter on your keyboard after typing the charge to make it registerbefore clicking submit. Place charges and electron dots as neededon each ion. To add a charge, click the +/- button, then click onan atom and type the desired charge.
