Phosphorous is represented as P, and has 5 valence electrons. It is a nonmetal, so it will have brackets [].It is extremely difficult to recreate it without a picture, so here is an attempt. Please ignore the underscores._. .[.P.]_ .In words, put P in brackets []. [P]Add two dots on top.Add one dot on the other sides.There should now be five dots total, representing the number of valence electrons (outermost shell).
The Lewis symbol for O2 is O=O, where each oxygen atom is represented by an O surrounded by 6 dots, indicating the 6 valence electrons of each oxygen atom.
To draw a Lewis structure for Be2+, start by writing the symbol for beryllium. Since Be2+ has a 2+ charge, it has lost two electrons. Place the two electrons as individual dots around the beryllium symbol, as there is no other atom bonded to it. The Lewis structure for Be2+ is simply Be with two dots around it.
The difference between the Lewis dot structure and the structural formula is that the formula only shows the bonds that have formed whereas the dot structure shows all the valence electrons, including lone pairs, in that molecule.
The Lewis electron dot system represents the valence electrons in an atom or molecule. These are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, which are typically involved in chemical bonding. Lewis structures use dots to represent these valence electrons around a symbol representing the atomic nucleus.
Yes. That is true. There are 3 pairs of electrons, and 1 lone unpaired electron.
All of the electrons are paired. If you are asking how many lone pairs, there are 4.
The Lewis structure for NSF (nitrogen sulfide fluoride) has nitrogen as the central atom with one nitrogen-sulfur single bond and one nitrogen-fluorine single bond. Nitrogen has one lone pair of electrons and follows the octet rule, while sulfur and fluorine both have complete octets.
The Lewis symbol for boron is B with three dots around it to represent its three valence electrons.

5 electrons where two electrons are paired and three are unpaired
The valence electrons are represented in the Lewis symbol of an atom. These are the electrons in the outermost energy level of the atom and are involved in bonding with other atoms. The nucleus and inner electron shells are not shown in the Lewis symbol.
The Lewis symbol for a nitrogen atom is N with five dots around it, representing its five valence electrons. The Lewis symbol for a chlorine atom is Cl with seven dots surrounding it, representing its seven valence electrons.
The system used to represent the valence electrons around the chemical symbol of an element is called the Lewis electron dot structure or simply Lewis structure. In this system, dots are placed around the chemical symbol to represent the valence electrons of the element.
Pb with 4 dots around it to represent its 4 valence electrons.
The compound containing aluminum and nitrogen is called aluminum nitride and has the formula AlN. The aluminum atom loses its three valence electrons, and the nitrogen atom will gain the three valence electrons from the aluminum atom, and add them to its valence electrons, forming an octet. Refer to the related link below for an illustration.
The correct Lewis diagram for atomic nitrogen shows one nitrogen atom with a single unpaired electron in its outer shell, surrounded by three pairs of electrons (a total of 5 valence electrons). This results in a total of five electrons being shown in the diagram.
