Would the Lewis structure of a cation with a 1 charge contain one more electron or one less electron than the Lewis structure for the neutral species?
yup
Would a Lewis structure for a cation have more or less electrons for a Lewis structure of a neutral atom?
A action is a positively charged ion, so it would have less electrons that a neutral atom. Keep in mind that every electron adds -1 to the overall charge of the ion, so subtracting electrons adds +1 to the charge.
Does CaCO3 have a Lewis structure?
No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.
What is the Lewis structure of 3O2?
The Lewis dot structure of elemental (biatomic) oxygen (O) have three of its sides surrounded by valence electrons. The Lewis dot would be 3 of these individual O2 structures: .. .. :O::O: .. ..
What is the Lewis structure for Xenon?
It would be the Xe surrounded by 8 dots.

yup
Would the Lewis structure for a cation contain more electrons or fewer electrons?
It would have fewer electrons. A cation is a positively charged ion which means that there are fewer negatively charged electrons than positively charged protons.

Lewis dot structure of boron?
the Lewis structure of B or Boron would have three small dots posing as electrons. These dots can be placed anywhere around the B symbol.
How would you describe Leona Lewis?
i would say that she is a great singer , very pretty and lucky to be where she is ! :)
Would the Lewis structure for an anion contain more electrons or fewer electrons?

Is boron an cation or anion?
Boron is an element and is neither an anion or cation. If ionized it would tend to from B3+ and would be thus a cation.
