What do the dots on the Lewis structure represent?

the dots are the number of electrons in an elements valance shell (last shell). if it has no dots, it means it has lended its electrons to another element to become stable like its nearest noble gas.


What fourth period element is represented by an X with 7 dots?

If the X with 7 dots is supposed to represent valance electrons, then the element would be Iodine, I. There is not an element with just an X symbol. When I teach valance electors, I use an X to represent any chemical symbol and then show the order of the placement of the valance electron dots around the X.
