A double bond is represented by two pairs of dots etc. Dots representing non-bonded outer-shell electrons are placed adjacent to the atoms with which they are associated. Formal charges (e.g. +, -, 2+, etc.) are attached to atoms to indicate the difference between the positive nuclear charge (atomic number) and the total number of electrons (including those in inner shells), on the formal basis that bonding electrons are shared equally between the atoms they join.

En prenant pour principe que les électrons d’une liaison se partagent à égalité entre les atomes liés, des charges formelles(par exemples, +,-, 2+, etc.) sont affectées aux atomes pour indiquer la différence entre la charge positive du noyau(nombre atomique) et le nombre total d’électrons(y compris ceux des couches internes).
