!!! reminder
When drawing a Lewis **dot diagram**, covalent bonds must be represented as two adjacent dots. When drawing a Lewis **structure**, covalent bonds must be represented as lines connecting the atoms.
If the process stage is required:
- Electrons destined to be shared must be encircled.
- Electrons to be transferred must have arrows pointing to their destination.
- x'es are used to represent additional electrons that have an unknown source.
### Percentage ionic character
Bonding is a spectrum. The percentage ionic character of a chemical bond shows roughly the amount of time valence electrons spend near an atom or ion in a bond. The difference between two elements' electronegativity (ΔEN) indicates how covalent and how ionic the bond **behaves**.

The number of covalent bonds required is then:

The number of lone pairs (pairs of un-bonded electrons) left over is:

### Dative covalent bonds
Sometimes, one atom in a covalent bond may contribute both electrons in a shared pair.
