There are 3 shells. The first containing 2 electrons then the second containing 8 electrons and the third(the valence shell) containing 7. In total it has 17 electrons. This should help:
Cl2 is the diatomic molecule of chlorine (Cl) . It has 14 valence electrons, 7 in each atom. When chlorine forms a chloride ion, an atom accepts an electron and becomes Cl- (negative ion).
The answer is 12. If you draw the lewis dot structure for formaldehyde, you have to remember to draw the non-bonding pairs on the oxygen atom, and when you count all the electrons, remember that the lines used to represent bonds are counted as 2.
It is K with one dot so: K . The reasoning behind this is that you put the highest energy level on the dot notation. Electron Configuration notation for Potassium is: 1s2; 2s2, 2p6; 3s2, 3p6, 4s1. It is also in the third row, so that is why it moves up to the fourth energy level.
The element with the electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p5 is fluorine (F).
Argon does not readily form chemical bonds with other atoms, so it does not have a dot structure like elements that participate in bonding. In dot structures, the symbol for the element is surrounded by dots representing its valence electrons. Since argon is a noble gas with a full valence shell, it is considered "stable" and does not form dot structures.
The electron dot structure for chloride (Cl-) would be written with the symbol Cl surrounded by 8 dots (representing 8 valence electrons) where two of the dots are paired to represent the extra electron that the chloride ion has gained. This structure illustrates the full octet configuration and charge of the chloride ion.
In the Lewis electron dot structure for NaCl, sodium (Na) will donate its one valence electron to chlorine (Cl), which has seven valence electrons. This results in both Na and Cl achieving a full outer shell of electrons, making them stable. The final structure will show Na with no dots and Cl surrounded by eight dots.

The electron dot structure and Lewis dot structure are the same thing. They both represent the arrangement of valence electrons in an atom or molecule using dots around the chemical symbol.

The electron-dot structure of sodium atom is 'Na-dot' or 'Na.' One dot is one valence electron.
A synonym for Lewis diagram is Lewis structure. It is a schematic representation of the bonding between atoms in a molecule and the arrangement of valence electrons around atoms.
The electron dot symbol for a chlorine atom in its ground state would have 7 dots surrounding the symbol "Cl", representing the 7 valence electrons of chlorine.
In the Lewis dot structure for SbCl3, antimony (Sb) is the central atom with three chlorine (Cl) atoms bonded to it. Sb has 5 valence electrons, while Cl has 7. Each Cl forms a single bond with Sb, using one electron each. This results in a total of 3 lone pairs on Sb and 3 single bonds to Cl atoms.
In the Lewis dot structure for NaCl showing an ionic bond, sodium (Na) will have one dot representing its single valence electron, and chlorine (Cl) will have seven dots, one for each of its seven valence electrons. The electrons will be shown transferring from sodium to chlorine to form an ionic bond, with sodium losing its electron to become a cation (Na+) and chlorine gaining an electron to become an anion (Cl-).
The Lewis dot structure for NaCl shows Na with one valence electron donating to Cl, which has 7 valence electrons. The resulting structure has Na surrounded by 8 electrons (full octet) and Cl surrounded by 8 electrons (full octet).
The dot structure of NaCl, sodium chloride, would show sodium as Na with one electron being transferred to chlorine, Cl, resulting in Na+ and Cl- ions being attracted to each other due to their opposite charges. This forms an ionic bond between sodium and chlorine.
