" (SO4)2- 32 total electrons: 6 per atom plus 2
grrr it wont get the spaces right. its 4 oxygen around a sulfur, all single bonds. each oxygen has 6 extra electrons around it
A neutral sulfur atom has 6 electrons, regardless of the isotope. The lewis dot structure would have a pair of dots on two sides of the symbol S, and a single dot on the other two sides, for a total of 6 dots. Refer to the related link for an illustration.
3 single bonds around Si and 3 bond pairs around each O
8 dots around

Oxygen, Selenium, Tellurium, or any other element in the same group as sulfur would have a similar Lewis symbol.

.. H - S - H (please see explanation below)*** .. *****The valence electron pairs are suppose to be on top and on bottom of the sulfur, instead of the hydrogen. This follows the octet rule for the sulfur and the duet rule for the hydrogen.
These would be the elements in group 16. The elements in group 16 have six valence electrons. Those valence electrons are represented in a Lewis diagram by surrounding them with six dots. When drawing a diagram for an element with six valence electrons, there should be two pairs of dots (four total), and two separate dots.

Uut with 3 dots around it (3 valence electrons)
Lewis structure, electron dot diagram, electron dot structure...
do the Lewis structure. It has all the answers. :)
sulfur has six valence electrons. Put 2 at the top of sulfur, two more at left, then one at right and one below. Add a hydrogen atom (each with one electron) at the single electron places of sulfur. sulfur gets the octet, each hydrogen gets 2 electrons to fill up its little orbital.

Yes, in a Lewis diagram, the valence electrons are shown by dots around them.
