What do the dots represent and what does the number of dot tell us about each atom?

There are three kinds of "dots" in a atom. Electrons, neutrons, protons. Electrons have a negative charge, neutrons have no charge, and protons have a positive charge. The numbers of dots represent what kind of atom it is, as on the Periodic Table of the elements. The atomic number and mass tells you how many electrons/neutrons/or protons there are.

What do chemical formulas tell you the number of?
A chemical formula tells you the number of each type of atom in the molecule or structure.
What distinguihses one element from another?
The color of the protons, The number of neutrons in the nucleus
What is the name and number of atoms of each element in each compound of the periodic table of NaCl H2O2 Fe3O4 and SiO2?
the name of the elements are found on most periodic tables and each element is a separate type of atom the number found by an element hereorhere shows the number of atoms of each element the molecule has
What does the number at the upper left corner of each element represent?
That is the element's mean atomic mass. It's the average atomic mass of the element as found in nature, taking into account how abundant each isotope of the element is in nature. The number of protons in an atom determines what element it is, but not all atoms of many elements have the same number of neutrons in nature. The total number of protons and neutrons determines which isotope of the element it is, and almost all of an atom's mass is in its protons and neutrons. Atomic mass is measured in atomic mass units (amu). One atomic mass unit is equal to one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom in its ground state. That is approximately 1.660539 yoctograms (a yoctogram is a trillionth of a trillionth of a gram).
Are the number of electrons different from every atom of every element?
Each element has a different number of electrons. All atoms of that element have the same number of electrons. The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.
Chemical formulas represent the number and element of each type of atom in?
Chemical formulas represent the number and element of each type of atom in a molecule.
What is the Lewis structure for He?
The Lewis structure for Helium is He with two dots next to each other, above the He symbol. The dots must be drawn next to each other, they represent the two electrons found in the 1s-orbital of the Helium atom.
What does the number of dot tell us about each atom?
Lewis dots are concerned with electrons in the outer most shell of an atom. This means that no matter how many electrons an element contains, Lewis dots will never number higher than eight.
What does the atomic number of an elemnet represent?
The atomic number of an element represents the number of protons in each atom of the element.
What is the Lewis structure for the compound BrF?
The Lewis structure for bromine pentaflouride starts with a Br atom in the center. There are five single bonds coming off and a pair of dots. Each bond is attached to an F atom with a pair of dots on each unbonded side.
How many dots represent the number of parallel universes in the multiverse?
The concept of parallel universes in the multiverse is theoretical and not quantifiable in terms of a specific number of dots. The idea of parallel universes suggests an infinite or unknown number of alternate realities existing alongside our own universe.
What dose the atomic number of an element represent?
The atomic number is the number of protons present in the atom's nucleus
Is each dots in an electron dot diagram used to represent valance electrons?
Yes, the dots in an electron dot diagram represent valence electrons.
Lewis electron dots for CH2I2?
The dot structure for CH2I2 starts with the carbon atom in the center. To the right and left are a singly bonded H atom. Above and below are a singly bonded I atom, each of which has a pair of dots on each unbonded side.
What does the number below each symbol represent?
The average Atomic Mass
What is a Morse signal?
A morse signal is a series of dashes and dots sent either as sound pulses over the airways or telephone wires, or visually by using a signal lamp. Each series of dots and dashes represent either a letter or a number.
What is the used to determine the number of each atom in an ionic formula?
Oxidation state is what determines the number of each atom. This is in the ionic formula.
