First, write Ca on the paper. Next, look at the Periodic Table to find the number of valence electrons. You will see the electron configuration is 2-8-8-2. Therefore, it has 2 valence electrons. Draw two dots around the Ca to form the diagram.

∙ 16y agoYou find out the valence electrons of the element. (The number of electrons on the outermost layer) You write the symbol of the Element ( I ) and then put dots around the symbol. Start from the top, and then put a dot on the side, then put a dot underneath it, and then on the other side, counterclockwise. If there are more than 4 valence electrons, then draw a dot next to the other dots in the fashion of this image: Open this in your browser. http://www.fordhamprep.org/gcurran/sho/sho/images/lewdot14.jpg I think there are no more than 8 valence electrons in an element. Hope that Helps! -Sean

Is each dots in an electron dot diagram used to represent valance electrons?
Yes, the dots in an electron dot diagram represent valence electrons.
An electron dot diagram shows an atoms number of?
Electron dot formula tells the number of valence electrons
How do you draw an electron dot diagram for ammonia?
It is very easy. Take a nitrogen atom at center. Draw 5 valence electrons around it (keep two of them in pairs). Now take 3 hydrogen atoms in front of every free electron. Draw the electron of each hydrogen atom. Click Here to see the diagram I have drawn using using MS Paint.

What is a synonym for Lewis diagram?
Lewis structure, electron dot diagram, electron dot structure...
What information can you get from electron dot diagram?
1. An electron dot diagram can show you that the symbols for an element surrounded by dots. Each dot stands for one valence electron.
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 ' '
