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.
In the Lewis dot structure for Ag2O, each silver atom will have a +1 charge, while oxygen will have a -2 charge. This results in a structure where each Ag atom is bonded to an O atom with a double bond, and each O atom has two lone pairs around it.
The number of electrons in the outermost shell...
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
no. just the valence shell
There are 16 dots in the Lewis Dot Structure of H2Se. Each hydrogen atom contributes 1 dot and selenium contributes 6 dots.
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.
The number of electrons in the outermost shell...
It represents the number of valence electrons in the atom.
Each dot in an electron-dot diagram represents a valence electron of an atom. The dots show the arrangement of valence electrons around the atomic symbol, indicating the number of electrons involved in chemical bonding.

Iodine is a diatomic molecule so it's molecules are paired as I2 Iodine has 7 electrons in it's outer shell so 1 electron is shared by each atom. Three sides of each atom will have 2 dots the fourth side of each atom having the shared dots
The Lewis electron dot structure for CH2I2 (diiodomethane) consists of 2 iodine atoms each forming single bonds with the central carbon atom and 2 pairs of non-bonding electrons on each iodine atom. The carbon atom has two pairs of non-bonding electrons as well. The structure can be represented as C with I on each side bonded by 2 lines and with 2 dots on each I atom.
The electron-dot structure of sodium atom is 'Na-dot' or 'Na.' One dot is one valence electron.
In the Lewis dot structure for NF3, nitrogen is the central atom bonded to three fluorine atoms. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, while fluorine has 7 valence electrons each. Nitrogen shares one electron with each fluorine atom, resulting in a total of 8 valence electrons around nitrogen.
PH3 (Phosphine) would be a P atom, with 5 crosses around its shell. Then three H atoms would be attached to it, with one atom per cross. This should leave two crosses free. Then, in each H atom, draw a dot, but make sure its also touching the P atom. BCl3 (Boron TriChloride) would be a B atom, with 3 crosses on its shell. Then, one Cl atom per cross. On each Cl atom, draw 7 dots, with one each touching the B atom. Hopefully this makes sense.
it is an atom
