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.

An electron dot diagram shows an atom's number of what?
The number of electrons in the outermost shell...
What does a dot diagram and a atomic number have in common?
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
Does the Lewis dot structure represent the total number of electrons in the atom?
no. just the valence shell
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 is A Way To Show The Number Of Valence Electrons An Atom Hasusing Dots Around The Symbol Of An Element?
This is the Lewis dot notation.
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 the electrons in an electron dot structure represent?
It represents the number of valence electrons in the atom.
What does each dot in an electron-dot diagram represent?
each dot in an electron-dot diagram represents valence electrons or "available" electrons of each element. For example, Oxygen has 6 valence electrons so it has six dots around it. The number of valence electrons are found at the top of each group on the periodic table. Nitrogen has 5, Oxygen 6, Fluorine has 7...and so on! hope this helps

Lewis dot diagram for Li?
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
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.
Which of these is the correct Lewis structure for a sodium atom?
The electron-dot structure of sodium atom is 'Na-dot' or 'Na.' One dot is one valence electron.
What is the Lewis dot structure for NF3?
First draw an N for the nitrogen atom. Off of that, there are three dashes, each connected to one F, for each fluorine atom. Finally, on all non connected sides of each atom, there are two dots representing unshared valence electrons.
How do you draw a dot cross diagram of Bcl3 and PH3?
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.
What is the dot notation of s?
it is an atom
