Do transition elements have Lewis dot structures?

They do, it's just that they do not follow the octet rule. You have to find the electron configuration to find the dot structure.


Where can you find the Lewis dot structure for Coca Cola?

There is none. Lewis dot structures can only be drawn for individual compounds and elements. Coca Cola is a mixture of many substances.


What can you do to check that your Lewis dot structures are correct?

the valence electron configuration of the representative elements are corresponding to the group in which they are found


Why do neon and helium have different number of dot in their Lewis structures if they are in the same group?

because they are different types of elements.


Why are electron dot structures sometimes called Lewis dots or Lewis structures?

They are called Lewis Dot Diagrams because of the man who came up with the idea, Lewis Gilbert


What is Lewis formula?

Lewis structures are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. They are also called Lewis dot diagrams, electron dot diagrams, and electron dot structures. See the link below for Lewis structure.


How are the inner shell electrons represent in a Lewis structure?

In a Lewis dot structure (also called an electron dot structure) there are no inner electrons and shells shown because Lewis dot structures are usually used to show bonds between elements, and the inner electrons are never usually involved with the bonding of atoms.


What are the symbols that use electron dot notation to represent molecules called?

Lewis dot structures.


How electron dot diagrams are also called?

They can also be called Lewis Dot Structures or Diagrams, named after a scientist names Gilbert Norton Lewis


Can polyatomic ion form Lewis structures?

yes, diatomic and polyatomic ions can both be expressed in electron dot diagrams, or as your reffer to them; Lewis structures.


What does a Lewis dot show?

Lewis dot structures show how an atom's electrons work together in a certain molecule. They also show what a certain molecule will look like.


How does the octet rule influence Lewis dot structures?

Lewis dot structures are influenced by octet rule, when the electrons increase or decrease to fit into noble gas. Hence the chemical bonding in Lewis structure change.
