The elements that have 5 electrons in the dot diagram means that they have 5 valence electrons. These elements are found in group 5A. Elements include, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth.
"The electron dot diagram is used by scientists to represent electron sharing. The chemical symbol is in the center to represent the nucleus and inner energy level. Dots surrounding the symbol represents the valence electrons." that is the electron dot Diagram.. Sorry, i cant do more than that....
The electron dot, or Lewis dot diagram for xenon is the symbol Xe surrounded by four pairs of dots, representing eight valence electrons. Refer to the related link for an illustration.
I had a science question that asked: An electron ______ is the chemical symbol for the element surrounded by as many dots as there are electrons in its outer energy level. That is pretty much the same as yours. I put dot diagram... Meaning electron dot diagram
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:
The science of atoms and chemical bonding is extremely complicated. Real-life electron density diagrams in a molecule of hydrogen gas for example show how the electrons whizz around the two hydrogen nuclei in a very complex fashion. Obviously, when one is just learning about chemistry, or needs to present a model of atomic structure that is clear, the dot and cross diagram is superb. Let's use the element Lithium, Li as an example. It has one valence (outer-shell) electron, thus it would possess one dot in such a diagram. A molecule of chlorine gas, Cl2, will have a dot and cross diagram where the atoms' outer shells overlap, with two dots in between the overlap, representing the bond. This is a very hard topic to discuss in terms of prose alone; textbooks such as Winter- Chemical Bonding, will provide diagrams that will further embellish what I've discussed here.
i like you
they have 2
Electron dot diagrams are used to represent electron sharing and can easily show how elements bond. The dots represent valence electrons and makes it easier to show students.
Yes of course, electron dot diagrams can be drawn for all elements.
This is different for each period of group IIA in the P.T.Examples:Be in period 2 has 4 electrons, Ca in p.4 has 20and Ra in p.7 (down under in P.T.) has 88 electrons.The whole row: 4, 12, 20, 38, 56, 88 electrons, from top to bottom in group IIA
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.
Lewis structures are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. They are also called Lewis dot diagrams, electron dot diagrams, and electron dot structures. See the link below for Lewis structure.
They both show the amount of electrons in the outer shell.
Yes, in a Lewis diagram, the valence electrons are shown by dots around them.
Electron dot diagrams show the number of valence electrons and whether they are paired or unpaired. One of the trends of the periodic table is that elements within the same group have the same number of valence electrons. Sodium and potassium are in the same group.
I'm pretty sure that they are to show the number of valence electrons. I hope this helped!
