- Lithium: Li with one dot
- Calcium: Ca with two dots
- Chlorine: Cl with seven dots (three pairs and one single)
- Germanium: Ge with four dots (one on each side)
- Beryllium: Be with two dots
- Xenon: Xe with eight dots (four pairs)
- C₂H₅OH: Two C atoms bonded, first C has three H, second C has two H and one O; O has one H and two lone pairs
- C₂H₅Cl: Two C atoms bonded, first C has three H, second C has two H and one Cl; Cl has three lone pairs
- CH₃OCH₃: Central O bonded to two C atoms; each C has three H; O has two lone pairs
- CH₃COOH: First C bonded to three H and second C; second C double-bonded to O and single-bonded to OH; OH O has two lone pairs, carbonyl O has two lone pairs
- C₃H₈: Three C atoms in a chain, end C’s have three H, middle C has two H
- H₂CO: C double-bonded to O, single-bonded to two H; O has two lone pairs
- C₂H₆: Two C atoms bonded, each C has three H
- C₂H₄: Two C atoms double-bonded, each C has two H
- C₂H₂: Two C atoms triple-bonded, each C has one H
