Which Lewis electron dot diagram represents the element phosphorous?
Phosphorous is represented as P, and has 5 valence electrons. It is a nonmetal, so it will have brackets [].It is extremely difficult to recreate it without a picture, so here is an attempt. Please ignore the underscores._. .[.P.]_ .In words, put P in brackets []. [P]Add two dots on top.Add one dot on the other sides.There should now be five dots total, representing the number of valence electrons (outermost shell).
What does the phase diagram for carbon monoxide?
Using Lewis structure (dot) diagrams, carbon has 4 unpaired electrons: . . C . . and oxygen has 2 pairs and 2 unpaired: . . O : : To start, pair up the 2 unpaired e- from oxygen: . . C : : O : : Since there are still 2 unpaired electrons (both on the carbon), another bond can form, so the oxygen will use one of its unshared pairs to (1) form a 3rd bond and (2) pair up with the last unpaired electron of carbon: : C : : : O :

What is the Lewis structue of PF3?
Three fluorine atoms extend from a central phosphorus. The three bonds are single bonds and each fluorine has three sets of two paired electrons. Phosphorous has an additional set of paired electrons.
What is the system used to represent the valence electrons around the chemical symbol of an element?
The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom is known as the valence electrons. These valence electrons determine the reactivity of the atom.
What parts of an atom are shown in its Lewis symbol?
The electrons in the valence shell are shown in the Lewis structure of an atom by dots. Additionally, if it contains bonds, they are shown by dashes.
The Lewis dot symbol for the a lead atom is?
Pb with 4 dots around it to represent its 4 valence electrons.
