What does the electron arrangement of any particular atom show?

The emission spectrum is your visible light spectrum, so it tells you your wavelength and frequency. Knowing this information allows you to calculate your photon energy (Eph = hv, where v = frequency and h = plank's constant). Hence, you know how much energy the electrons have and how much energy it takes to excite them from one energy level to the next (Eph).

How many electrons are shown in the electron dot structure of carbon?
The electron-dot representation of a carbon atom show only four dots because the dots represent only the valence electrons (the ones placed in the outermost shell). The carbon atom has four electrons in it's outermost shell. !
How do you represent ionic bonding with electron dot diagrams?
The electron dot diagram shows bonding by a 'cross' (x) as the electron of the other atom. Therefore shows bonding. Either ionic or covalent. In covalent it shows within atoms and in ionic the electrons are separate as it is transferred and not shared.
How is the electron arrangement of an atom indicated by electron configurations and orbitals diagrams?
Electron configurations show the energy levels, the orbitals and the number of electrons in each case. For example, the electron configuration of Na (at.no. 11) is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1. This shows that in energy level 1, there are 2 electrons in the s orbital. In the 2nd energy level, there are 2 electrons in the s orbital and 6 electrons in the p orbitals. etc. The orbital diagram would show essentially the same thing, but would include the spin of each electron, by showing up and down arrows. Cannot draw it here but if ^ represents up arrow and v represents down arrow, it would look something like ^v ^v ^v^v^v ^ 1s 2s 2p 3s
What is the octet rule and how is it useful in drawing Lewis Dot Structures?
Most elements have a stable electron arrangement when they have 8 electrons in their outer shell (hydrogen and helium are exceptions, they are stable with only 2 electrons in their outer shell), and an octet is 8 of something, hence the octet rule. Lewis dot diagrams are drawn to show how many electrons are associated with any given atom, and how the atoms are shared, in the case of covalent bonding. Generally, each atom winds up with 8 electrons. Not hydrogen.
What does the electron dot system show?
it shows how many electrons are in the atom's orbital
What does the electron energy level diagram show?
The diagram shows the valence of the atom.
When might a bohr model of an atom be more helpful than an electron cloud model?
It will show precise location of electron during orbital.
How did the discovery of the electron show that there are also positively charged parts of the atom?
The discovery of the electron proved the positive charge of the atom when sending an electric spark across an air gap from one electrode to another, called the photoelectric effect.
What did Sir Ernest Rutherford invent?
Ernest Rutherford discovered that the nucleus of an atom has a positive charge and discovered the evidence to show the electron field surrounding the nucleus in an atom.

What shows the shape and appearance of the arrangement of atoms in a compound?
In a solid draw dots to represent atoms in a fixed matrix like a 3D chequer board. For liquid draw dots at random to fill the liquid spaced close together. for a gas draw dots randomly spaced much further apart
How is bohr model a good model?
its a good model because it shows you the atom written out. it also helps to show you the valence electron number
Why alkali metals do not show 2 oxidation state?
Because they have only one electron in their valency shell. The second oxidation state would require the atom to lose an electron from its penultimate shell which is full.
