This is the Lewis dot notation.
In an electron dot diagram for oxygen, there are six valence electrons. Therefore, you would represent these six electrons as dots around the symbol for oxygen (O). Typically, the dots are placed in pairs and can be arranged around the oxygen symbol in groups to reflect its bonding potential, often shown with two pairs and two single dots.
In an electron dot diagram for calcium, there are two dots shown. Calcium has two valence electrons, which are represented by the dots placed around the symbol "Ca" in the diagram. These dots are typically placed on the sides of the element's symbol to indicate the electrons available for bonding.
It would be the atomic symbol for silver (Ag) with however many dots around it as the number of valence electrons. The dots are placed with a maximum of two on each side bringing the highest total to eight, reserved for the noble gases. The Lewis dot diagram for silver would be .Ag (the dot can go on any side; it does not make a difference.)
three dots arranged in a triangle.
Yes, that is correct. The number of dots around an element's symbol in the periodic table corresponds to the number of valence electrons that element has. Valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom and play a significant role in determining an element's chemical properties.
This is the Lewis dot notation.
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. The dot diagram for oxygen would show 6 dots around the symbol "O", with pairs of dots on each side of the element symbol.
Pb with 4 dots around it to represent its 4 valence electrons.
The Lewis symbol for boron is B with three dots around it to represent its three valence electrons.
The Mayans used a combination of dots and lines to represent their numbers. The number thirteen is represented by three dots on top of two horizontal lines.
There is one dot around the Na in the Lewis symbol for a neutral atom of Sodium.
Barium, with an atomic number of 56, has two valence electrons. Therefore, in an electron dot diagram, there would be two dots drawn around the symbol for barium.
three dots represents the therefore symbol

its like a number on top of a number. sort of like a fraction... the dots are numbers and the line is like the fraction bar.
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.
