13. Create a checklist that can be used to determine if a Lewis structure for a molecule is correct. Two items from the Information section are included below
as a start.
H must be surrounded by two electrons - a single bond.
C, N, O, and F must be surrounded by eight electrons (the octet rule).

the term hydride is commonly named after binary compounds that hydrogen forms with other elements of the periodic table. hydride compounds in general form with almost any element, except a few noble gases. the trends and properties vary according to the type of intermolecular force that bonds the elements together, the temperature, its molecular masses, and other components. hydrides are classified into three major groups, depending on what elements the hydrogen bonds to. the three major groups are covalent, ionic, and metallic hydrides. formally, hydride is known as the negative ion of a hydrogen, h-, also called a hydride ion. because of this negative charge, hydrides have reducing, or basic properties. its special characteristics will be further discussed.
