Electron dot structure - valence electrons are represented by dots placed around the chemical symbol. Electrons are placed up to two on each side of the elemental symbol for a maximum of eight, which is the number of electrons in a filled s and p shell. We place a single electron on each side before pairing them up (this is related to Hund's rule). Period one represents an exception where only a maximum of two electrons are placed on one side of the element (why is this so?).
Electron dot structures for the first two periods - Number of valence electrons related to group number.
Covalent bonds - Sharing electrons, unlike ionic compounds where electrons are thought of being gained or lost.
Non-metals exhibit both covalent and ionic bonds
compounds with metals, non-metals generally gain en electron and become negatively charged
compounds with other non-metals, valence electrons are generally shared to achieve filled valence shell.
sharing electrons - covalent bonding - the sharing of electrons is the glue that binds atoms together.
There are 16 dots in the Lewis Dot Structure of H2Se. Each hydrogen atom contributes 1 dot and selenium contributes 6 dots.

Arsenic should have 5 electron dots in its Lewis structure, one for each valence electron.

okay ay man its Benny J jammin. havent got a clue . help me out
However many valence electrons there are, which I believe is 3
There are 16 dots in the Lewis Dot Structure of H2Se. Each hydrogen atom contributes 1 dot and selenium contributes 6 dots.
In a Lewis dot structure for an oxygen atom, there should be six dots. Lone pairs of electrons are represented by dots around the symbol for the atom. Oxygen has six valence electrons, so it will have a total of six dots in its Lewis dot structure.

A Lewis dot structure for potassium (K) would have one dot, representing its single valence electron.
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.

For fluorine: 8 dots.
Iodine has 7 dots around it in its Lewis dot structure as it has 7 valence electrons.
