Yes, in a Lewis diagram, the valence electrons are shown by dots around them.
Lewis dot formula

Because they are the only ones involved in bonding. For example, when an forming an ionic compound one atom loses its valence electrons and one gains electrons to make its valence electron shell complete.
Count the number of valence electrons for each 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.

Lewis dot formula
A Lewis diagram shows the valence electrons. They are the numbers that are from 1-8
they are the electrons in the outer shell of the atom(valence electrons)
The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom is known as the valence electrons. These valence electrons determine the reactivity of the atom.
Valence electrons.
The central atom of this ion is the C atom and it has 8 valence electrons.
For PBr4^+ you have...Valence electrons in P = 5Valence electrons is Br = 7 and there are 4 of them so total = 28This gives a total of 33, but you subtract 1 because of the + charge on the ion,Thus total valence electrons shown in the Lewis dot will be 32.
The Lewis structure of an atom gives a clear illustration of the valence electrons.
