An electron pair are two electrons which occupy the same orbital in an atom or molecule. Paired electrons are represented by two dots.

Which of an atom's electrons are represented as dots in a Lewis structure?
Lewis dot formula
Which group of the periodic table is represented by the electrondot symbol x 6?
These would be the elements in group 16. The elements in group 16 have six valence electrons. Those valence electrons are represented in a Lewis diagram by surrounding them with six dots. When drawing a diagram for an element with six valence electrons, there should be two pairs of dots (four total), and two separate dots.
What does it mean when you say 2 electrons are paired?
two electrons are paired means two electrons are bonded
Are valence electrons paired or unpaired?
They can be both. In sodium there is a single unpaired valence electron. In magnesium there are two valence electrons and they are paired.
Are electrons in an atom represented by a O?
No. It is represented by an e- :)

How do you draw a dot diagram for Bi?
Bismuth has five valence electrons, hence, it can be represented as a combination of Bi and five dots. There's considerable variation in the arrangement of these dots in Lewis diagrams.
What do the dots on the Lewis structure represent?
the dots are the number of electrons in an elements valance shell (last shell). if it has no dots, it means it has lended its electrons to another element to become stable like its nearest noble gas.
What electrons are in an electron dot diagram?
they are the electrons in the outer shell of the atom(valence electrons)
Are valence electrons paired or unpaired?
They can be both. In sodium there is a single unpaired valence electron. In magnesium there are two valence electrons and they are paired.
How do you check paramagnetism and diamagnetism?
First make the m.o (molecular orbital) diagram. If the electrons are paired in an orbital then it is diamagnetic . If the electrons are not paired then it is paramagnetic.
How many paired electrons in chlorine?
9
How many dots does electrons -dots diagram of a sulfur atom have?
it has 6
What is loanpair electron?
someone correct me if im wrong, but i think its electrons that are not used in the bonding of molecules, shown as 2 dots (or crosses, whatever you use) attached with a sort of bubble to the body of the molecule. Only 2 electrons are paired and in a bubble. hope that sorta helped =)
Why are unpaired electrons more significant than paired electrons in terms of magnetic properties?
I wouldn't say they are 'more significant' but if they are paired their magnetic moments cancel each other out and if they are not paired there is a net magnetic moment.
