How many electrons should a nonmetal atom be surrounded by in a Lewis structure?

Metals have between 1 and 3 valence electrons; nonmetals have between 4 and 8. Normally, after engaging in a chemical reaction the nonmetals will wind up with a full outer shell of 8 electrons.

In drawing a Lewis structure each nonmetal atom except hydrogen should be surrounded by?
A. 2 electrons..
After drawing a Lewis structure one should?
Count the electrons in the structure to be sure that the number of valence electrons used equals the number available.Be sure the central atom and other atoms besides Hydrogen have an octet.

How do you use nonmetal in a sentence?
Handles on screwdrivers should be non metal.
What is the Lewis dot structure for SrO?
. Sr .There should be two valence electrons around the element since Strontium is in the second column of the periodic table and has two valence electrons filling the 5s shell.

What is the correct lewis structure for selenium?
Selenium should be surrounded by 6 dots, 4 of the electrons in pairs, and the other 2 as themselves for conventional drawing... - I teach Biology and Chemistry.

NO.... its a SEMI CONDUCTOR

What does the Lewis structure for lithium look like?
The lewis dot structure for ICl2- is an octet exception and it starts like this: Cl-I-Cl with both Cl surrounded by 6 electrons and one single bond with Iodine. The Iodine has 3 pairs of electrons (6 e-) and 2 bonds with Cl (4 e-) for a total electron count of 10. The total valence electrons should add up to 22(I=7, 2Cl=14, + 1e-). The structure should be placed in brackets with correct negative 1 charge. [ICl2]-.

Atom x has 8 protons 8 neutrons in the nucleus two electrons in the first shell and eight electrons in the next shell this atom is?
Your information is inconsistant: Either this is a normal O16 with only 6 electrons in the outer shell, or this is a negative oxygen ion. Go with choice #1. this guy must have missed the 2 electrons in the first shell, it can't be a normal O16 atom because there are more electrons than protons, so it is a negative ion

The electron dot structure for Cl?
There are 3 shells. The first containing 2 electrons then the second containing 8 electrons and the third(the valence shell) containing 7. In total it has 17 electrons. This should help:
