Sorry about the wierd spacing but there is a single bond on the top of the N and on the bottom
It represents the number of valence electrons in the atom.
G.N. Lewis
There is no element symbolized as "M". If you find M in a chemical formula or equation, it most likely means any metal element (i.e., iron, silver, etc). There are three metals which begin with M: magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn) and molybdenum (Mo).
to find the electron dot configuration of an element simply draw dots, symbolizing valance electrons, in a way that they are farthest from each other around the symbol of the element you are using.
They can also be called Lewis Dot Structures or Diagrams, named after a scientist names Gilbert Norton Lewis
Electron dot formula tells the number of valence electrons
