Protons, nuetrons, and electrons
The dots in a Lewis structure represent the valence electrons of an atom. These electrons are shown as dots around the chemical symbol of the element to depict its outer electron configuration. The arrangement of these dots helps in understanding how atoms bond and form molecules.
On a map, black dots usually represent capital cities.
The dots represent shared electrons between atoms. In double bonds, 4 electrons are shared (2 pairs), while in triple bonds, 6 electrons are shared (3 pairs). These shared electrons help to create a strong bond between the atoms involved.
Lewis dot structures are used to represent covalent bonds among atoms in a molecule. Each atom's symbol is surrounded by dots, representing valence electrons. Pairs of dots are used to represent covalent bonds, following the octet rule where each atom aims to have a full outer shell of electrons, typically 8 electrons.
three dots represents the therefore symbol
four dots is H
They usually represent the state border between the states.

A Lewis structure is a model that uses electron-dot structures to show how electrons are arranged in molecules. Pairs of dots or lines represent bonding pairs this is a CO32− model
There are two main methods for sketching atoms: Lewis dot structures and structural formulas. Lewis dot structures represent the valence electrons of an atom as dots around the element symbol, while structural formulas show the arrangement of atoms in a molecule using lines to represent bonds between atoms. Both methods provide a visual representation of how atoms are bonded together in a molecule.
The symbols that use electron dot notation to represent molecules are called Lewis structures. These structures use dots to represent valence electrons around atoms in a molecule.
