The Lewis Structure, or Lewis Dot Diagram, shows the bonding between atoms of a molecule and any electrons that may exist. The Lewis Structure for Li is Li with one dot to the right of the element.
You will have 8 valence electrons around Cl (it usually has 7 but gained one from Li). There are no valence electrons to show around Li because it gave it's valence electron to Cl. Answered by a chemistry teacher.
The Lewis structure for a nitric oxide ion (NO) has a nitrogen atom in the center with a single bond to an oxygen atom and a positive charge on the nitrogen atom.
The Lewis structure for NH3 shows nitrogen in the center with three hydrogen atoms bonded around it. Each hydrogen atom is connected to the nitrogen atom by a single bond.
It is a lewis base because of its lone pair of electrons that can be "donated". If you draw/look at the lewis structure it is much easier to tell. Especially when the formula is not that of an ion!
To draw a Lewis dot structure for an element, first determine the total number of valence electrons for that element. Then, place the electrons around the element symbol in pairs, with no more than two electrons in each pair. Remember to follow the octet rule, which states that most elements strive to have eight electrons in their outer shell.
Will this link help you?, it is quite impossible to draw a Lewis dot structure in this simple text editor. See related links.
To draw a Lewis structure for Be2+, start by writing the symbol for beryllium. Since Be2+ has a 2+ charge, it has lost two electrons. Place the two electrons as individual dots around the beryllium symbol, as there is no other atom bonded to it. The Lewis structure for Be2+ is simply Be with two dots around it.

No, NH3 is not a resonance structure. Resonance occurs when it is possible to draw multiple valid Lewis structures for a molecule, but for NH3, there is only one correct Lewis structure based on the arrangement of the atoms and the octet rule.
The Lewis structure for NH3 shows nitrogen in the center with three hydrogen atoms bonded around it. Each hydrogen atom is connected to the nitrogen atom by a single bond.
This website is sooooooooooo slow never has answers
Cl has 7 electrons. If you draw Cl^-, there are 8 electrons and a minus 1 charge. What do you want to draw? And what do you mean by "odd" electrons?
Valence electrons are used to draw Lewis structures of molecules and atoms. These electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom that participate in bonding.
To draw a Lewis structure of a molecule or atom, you would typically use symbols to represent the atoms and lines to represent the bonds between atoms. The number of valence electrons for each atom is also considered to determine how the atoms are connected in the structure. Additionally, lone pairs of electrons on atoms are shown to complete their octets and achieve stability.
I uploaded a jpg of the acetate ion Lewis structure to imageshack. Just click the "related link" below and you should see it. Many people draw Lewis Structures with minor variations, but this should give you the basic idea.
The answer is 12. If you draw the lewis dot structure for formaldehyde, you have to remember to draw the non-bonding pairs on the oxygen atom, and when you count all the electrons, remember that the lines used to represent bonds are counted as 2.
