The Lewis structure for an element is the element symbol surrounded by dots numbering the total amount of valance electrons. Imagine a box is around the symbol...place the dots one on each side of the box. once there is one dot on each side, you will have to start putting a second one on each side. since no element has more than 8 valence electrons, you will never have more than 2 dots on each side Ex: hydrogen has 1 valance electron, so its Lewis dot structure will be... . H Note that is does not matter which side the dot is on
Helium has two valence electrons
there are 8 electrons in the valence shell of neon
the transition metals constitute groups 3 through 12 and are sometimes called d-block elements because of their position in the periodic table; while they all have the same valance electron orbital 'd'.
Pure metals form a metallic bond, in which each atom contributes its valance electron or electrons as the case may be, to the common electron cloud shared by all the atoms of that particular piece of metal.

All elements in group 1 have 1 valence electron.
The valance electron configuration is the same in each at ns1 where n = the period number.
The valance electron configuration is the same in each at ns1 where n = the period number.
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.
Yes, the dots in an electron dot diagram represent valence electrons.
Helium has two valence electrons
The elements of the Periodic Table increase in atomic number as you move across and down. This indicates more protons, and a larger atomic nucleus. The number of electron shells increases as well, with elements with filled valence shells at the right (noble gases). Also, generally elements become less reactive as it moves from the left to the right.As elements go from left to right across the periodic table, each element has one more proton and one more electron than the element to its immediate left. This affects valance (or outer shell) electrons. The column on the extreme left has just one valance electron, then the next column has two, the next has three. There isn't a smooth, uninterrupted progression from one valance electron to eight, on the far right, because the transition state elements, which are all metals, intrude into the sequence (this happens because some atoms have incomplete inner electron shells, rather than filling each shell before starting the next shell). But aside from that complication, elements go from metals on the left to nonmetals on the right, ending up with the noble gas elements on the extreme right.

The name of the group of elements with two valence electron in each atom is "alkaline earth metals."
A sodium atom has one valance electron which it donates to a chlorine atom which has seven valance electrons; as a result of this electron exchange, both the sodium and the chlorine will then have complete outer electron shells, and they also will both become electrically charged ions which will attract each other.
