What is another word for cubical atom?
Pronunciation: [kjˈuːbɪkə͡l ˈatəm] (IPA) 
The term "cubical atom" relates to a theory proposed by Gilbert Lewis in 1916, according to which atoms in chemical compounds are arranged in cubes. However, this theory was soon replaced by the more advanced representation of atoms as electron clouds. Though "cubical atom" is no longer used by scientists, synonyms for the term include cubical molecule, Lewis's cube, and Lewis dot structure. The concept of Lewis dot structures remains significant in modern chemistry for predicting and explaining the behavior of molecules. These structures depict the bonding between atoms in a molecule and help predict the geometry of chemical compounds.
