Electron dot structure - valence electrons are represented by dots placed around the chemical symbol. Electrons are placed up to two on each side of the elemental symbol for a maximum of eight, which is the number of electrons in a filled s and p shell. We place a single electron on each side before pairing them up (this is related to Hund's rule). Period one represents an exception where only a maximum of two electrons are placed on one side of the element (why is this so?).
Electron dot structures for the first two periods - Number of valence electrons related to group number.
Covalent bonds - Sharing electrons, unlike ionic compounds where electrons are thought of being gained or lost.
Non-metals exhibit both covalent and ionic bonds
compounds with metals, non-metals generally gain en electron and become negatively charged
compounds with other non-metals, valence electrons are generally shared to achieve filled valence shell.
sharing electrons - covalent bonding - the sharing of electrons is the glue that binds atoms together.
place seven dots with the symbol of iodine (I), because iodine has seven valence electrons.

For fluorine: 8 dots.
For fluorine: 8 dots.
However many valence electrons there are, which I believe is 3
