they both show particles but an atomic number is the amount of protons in the nucleus and a dot diagram is to show the bonding of atoms with electrons. and does not show the amount of electrons those atoms have but the valence electrons each atom has

Electron dot structure usually only shows valance electrons in the positions they would be found most in when the atom is involved in a bond.

How many dots have silver in Lewis diagram?

It would be the atomic symbol for silver (Ag) with however many dots around it as the number of valence electrons. The dots are placed with a maximum of two on each side bringing the highest total to eight, reserved for the noble gases. The Lewis dot diagram for silver would be .Ag (the dot can go on any side; it does not make a difference.)

What are diagrams?

There are two types of diagrams one is the Lewis diagram the other is the Electron dot diagram. To make the electron dot diagram you put the electron symbol and put a dot on one of the sides for each period (you don't count the middle section.) . . :Ne: = Neon dot diagram ' '

There's really no such thing as the "opposite" of a diagram, but another common way of showing how many electrons surround a nucleus is the Bohr model.


Lewis dot diagram for helium?

He :The number of electrons in an atom's outer electron shell determines how many dots there are. Helium has 2 electrons in its outer electron shell, so 2 dots.
