.x.x.x.x.x...Dot and Cross, hey? There are 2 possible answers:

''AlCl3 is 3 Cl and 1 Al with each of the outer electrons in the Al involved in a single ionic bond with each Cl- if, like me, you were asked to draw a dot and cross diagram at GCSE level, you should draw and ionic bonding like this.

However I have found out that Aluminium Chloride also exists as Al2Cl6 2 x AlCl3 when melted, so therefore it is not technically ionic bonding, it's covalent here. There is an amount of sharing of the bonding pairs of electrons, but as this would only be there would be 6 in the outer shell of each aluminium and not a complete 8 therefore one chlorine from the other AlCl3 unit donates a pair of none bonded electrons to the other Al to make 8, and the other Al gets a pair from that unit- dative covalent bonding.''

Oxygen can share one electron with a hydrogen atom and one with a chlorine atom. The resulting molecule is equivalent to a water molecule, in which one of the two hydrogens has been replaced by a chlorine atom.

oxygen has 6 electrons in the outer shell...which means it shares one electron with hydrogen, and chlorine shares one electron with oxygen. now oxygen and chlorine have 8 electrons.

What are diagrams?

There are two types of diagrams one is the Lewis diagram the other is the Electron dot diagram. To make the electron dot diagram you put the electron symbol and put a dot on one of the sides for each period (you don't count the middle section.) . . :Ne: = Neon dot diagram ' '

What is an element in the periodic table that would have the same electron dot diagram as chlorine?

Fluorine, Chlorine, Iodine, and Astatine. You can find this out just from looking at a periodic table. (Electrons are what create the properties of atoms). Because of electrons and how they are placed around an atom all of the elements in the same group on the periodic table (vertical column) share the same properties. If you want to learn more as to why this is the case look up more about electrons.


Dot diagrams are used to represent?

A dot diagram (also called an Electron Dot Diagram, and a Lewis Structure) is a way to show the valence electrons that surround an element. See related link for a good lesson on how to make a dot diagram.
