Na. (sodium with one dot, representing one valence electron)
The dot diagram for lead is:●● Pb ●●
The electron dot diagram is a way of working out the bonding of a molecule. The electron cloud is a description of the way that electrons surround the nucleus.
The electron dot diagram is basically a representation of the atom which only illustrates the valence electrons.
I found out that electron dot diagrams can be helpful because, what if you want to have an easier way to represent the atoms and the electrons in the outer energy level then electron dot diagrams are much easier to use.
electron dot formula HCl

The formula of cyclopentane is C5H10
Electron dot formula tells the number of valence electrons
It has an octahedral shape.

k2o is 2 potassium atoms and one oxygen.
