Question

Write the electron-dot structures for sodium, oxygen and magnesium.

Answer 1

The representation of elements with valence electrons as dots around the elements is referred to as electron-dot structure for elements.

(a) Sodium(2, 8, 1)=`dot(Na)`

(b) Oxygen (2, 6) = :`ddotO`:

(c) Magnesium (2,8,1) = `ddot(Mg)`
