First, you write the symbol of oxygen, O. Then you draw the valence electron around it. Since oxygen has 8 electron, it has 2 in the first shell and 6 in the second shell, the number of valence electrons is 6. You draw the 6 electrons around the O.They should be coupled by 2.
Nitrogen has an atomic number of 7 and a mass number of 14.
This means that its nucleus is made up of 7 protons and 7 neutrons.
As the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons (except in an ion) there are 7 electrons in nitrogen.
This means that the first (inner) shell will have 2 electrons and the second shell will have 5 electrons.
The dot and cross diagram for N2 would show the electrons in the inner shell as above and then 3 dots and 3 crosses in the overlap zone for the outer shell with 2 dots to one side and 2 crosses to the other. This is a triple bond.

Since Oxygen (O) is in group 6, it needs to gain two electrons ( gains -ve)

Neon atoms have 8 valence electrons. Refer to the related link for an illustration of the electron dot diagram for neon.
.. H : Cl : .. put a full valence shell around chlorine (Cl) and put Hydrogen (H) to the left next to a pair of electrons.
It looks like thisK–Br:except that there are also two dots both above and below the "Br" in the diagram (there are three lone pairs on Br, and none on K)See the Related Questions link about Lewis Dot Structures to the left of this answer for more help with electron dot diagrams!

Electron Dot Diagram
how do you draw an electron dot diagram for silicon
Refer to the related link below for an illustration.
i dont know how to do it so why would i know
It is oxygen group elements
Lewis structure, electron dot diagram, electron dot structure...
Simply draw 3 rows of three dots to show that the dots form a square, as shown below:. . .. . .. . .
LI " and H "
2 electron pairs, and 2 single ones, just like oxygen
each dot in an electron-dot diagram represents valence electrons or "available" electrons of each element. For example, Oxygen has 6 valence electrons so it has six dots around it. The number of valence electrons are found at the top of each group on the periodic table. Nitrogen has 5, Oxygen 6, Fluorine has 7...and so on! hope this helps
