at. no of sodium= 11
k l m
2 8 1
therefore its valence shell electron = 1
at. no of chlorine=7
k l m
2 8 7
therefore its valence shell electron=7
because there are two chlorine atoms
therefore 2* at. no
= 2*7=14
therefore its lewis dot structure will be
.. ..
: Cl .. Mg .. Cl:
.. ..
you undestand what i mean right , sorry i don't have gif
just give all the eight e- to O atom and make the structure
hope this answer is useful

The Lewis structure of a magnesium ion is :Mg.
It is the symbol of magnisium with 2 dots that represent the number of valence electrons are present in the outer shell of that element.
because its an ionic compound u separate the mg and cl2.......put 14 pairs of electron on both Cl...I cant with the computer
Corrected:
Mg is in the middle: Cl: Mg2+ :Cl
Mgo mg loses two electrons and o gains two electons,
.. Mg=O:
it has resonance ::N=N=N:: and :N(triple bond)N-O::: (best?)
The number of valence electrons in the atom.
No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.
What is Lewis Structure for the bicarbonate ion
Magnesium fluoride doesn't have a Lewis structure. Lewis structures are only used to show covalent bonds and magnesium fluoride forms an ionic bond. As a general rule of thumb, my chem teacher taught us that a non-metal bonded to a non-metal is a covalent bond and a metal and non-metal bonded together is an ionic bond. Hope it helps. hope this helps more:: What is the correct "Lewis electron-dot structure" for the compound magnesium fluoride? [ F ] (with 8 valence electrons marked with Dots) then a superscript of -1, then Mg^+2, with again the [ F ] (with 8 valence electrons marked with Dots) then a superscript of -1

MgCl2 is also known as magnesium hydrochloride. Lewis dot structures are not drawn for ionic compounds, like MgCl2. However, it is a complete octet.
The dot structure for IO4 starts with the I atom in the center. from this, there are three doubly bonded O atoms and one singly bonded O atom. The O atom has three pair of dots and the others have two pair of dots. The structure is then bracketed and noted with a 1- superscript.

The Lewis dot structure of elemental (biatomic) oxygen (O) have three of its sides surrounded by valence electrons. The Lewis dot would be 3 of these individual O2 structures: .. .. :O::O: .. ..
