If you are looking at a nitrogen atom by itself it will have 5 electrons (dots) surrounding it. The number of dots corresponds to an atom's location on the Periodic Table.
Starting from left to right (excluding transition metals) you increase 1 electron per column. So, looking at the 3rd row, sodium (Na) will have 1 dot, magnesium 2, aluminum 3, silicon 4, etc.

Which elements have 2 dots in the electron dot structure?
The number of valence electrons in the atom.
How many electrons are shown in the electron dot structure of carbon?
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 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.
Draw the electron-dot structure for HBr?
The electron-dot structure for HBr would be:H:Br: (with two more pairs of dots on the top and bottom of Br)
What is the Lewis structure for I (Z53)?
The dot structure for I will have have 7 dots around it. This will consist of 3 lone pairs, and then 1 single electron.
Which elements have 2 dots in the electron dot structure?
The number of valence electrons in the atom.
What is the electron dot diagram for carbon?
it has 4 dots
How many electrons are shown in the electron dot structure of carbon?
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 does the electron dot structure for arsenic look like?
5 dots around AS.
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.
Draw the electron-dot structure for HBr?
The electron-dot structure for HBr would be:H:Br: (with two more pairs of dots on the top and bottom of Br)
Lewis electron dots for CH2I2?
The dot structure for CH2I2 starts with the carbon atom in the center. To the right and left are a singly bonded H atom. Above and below are a singly bonded I atom, each of which has a pair of dots on each unbonded side.
What is the Lewis structure for I (Z53)?
The dot structure for I will have have 7 dots around it. This will consist of 3 lone pairs, and then 1 single electron.
What do the dots in a Lewis structure represent?
Valence electrons.
What is the Lewis structure for carbon tetra-bromide?
Since it is a tetrabromide, there will be four dots around the atom.
What is the electron arrangement for silicon?
how do you draw an electron dot diagram for silicon
How many dots are shown in the electron dot structure for gallium?
However many valence electrons there are, which I believe is 3
