Test 1 Review  Lewis Structures and Bonding         Know the number of valence electrons (group number) i.e., oxygen has 6 valence electrons         because it is in group 6         Carbon is usually ALWAYS the central atom in a Lewis Structure        Heteroatoms are any atom that is not hydrogen or carbon in organic chemistry.         Draw lone pairs!        A carbon with 3 bonds will always have a positive charge.        A carbon with 3 bonds and 1 lone pair will always have a negative charge.          Formal charge= #valence electrons- (1/2 bonding electrons)- nonbonding electrons        Don’t include the charge when calculating formal charge.  Orbitals         S orbitals are symmetri
