The electron-dot representation of a carbon atom show only four dots because the dots represent only the valence electrons (the ones placed in the outermost shell). The carbon atom has four electrons in it's outermost shell. !

What is the total number of electrons shown in this Lewis structure of carbon dioxide?
16 is the total number of electrons shown in the Lewis Structure of Carbon Dioxide.
an atom of an element has a total of 13 electrons what is the element and how many electrons are shown in its electron-dot structure?
mg
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 electrons are in an electron dot diagram?
they are the electrons in the outer shell of the atom(valence electrons)
How many dots are shown in the electron dot structure for gallium?
However many valence electrons there are, which I believe is 3

What is the bond pair in carbon dioxide?
The structure of CO2 is like: O=C=O In this structure, the bonded pair of electrons is shown as the lines between oxygen and carbon atoms. So, two electrons from each oxygen atom and four electrons from the carbon atom takes part in the bonding.
How many electrons are shown in its electron dot structure?
None. There will be two pairs (for a total of 4 electrons) on the Oxygen atom in the water molecule.
How many electrons are shown in the electron-dot structure of iodine?
Iodine in its natural form is I2, two iodine atoms bonded with a single covalent bond. There are 6 non-bonded valance electrons on each atom, so there are 12 electrons in the electron-dot structure.
How many electrons are shown in the electron dot structures of the following elements carbon calcium iodine gallium?
a. carbon - 4 b. iodine - 12 c. calcium - 2 d. gallium - 3

Shape of electron?
As far as measurements have shown an electrons is almost a perfect sphere.
What type of electron is displayed in an electron dot diagram?
Electrons shown in an electron dot diagram are the valence electrons. As a "for instance" here, look at hydrogen and lithium. Each one has a single electron in their outer most or valence shell, and so each will be shown by writing the chemical symbol and by adding a single dot. H. Li.
