Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Use your knowledge of electron dot diagrams and valence electrons.
An electron dot diagram, also known as a Lewis dot structure, is a way to show the valence electrons of an atom. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, and they are involved in chemical bonding. The dots represent these valence electrons.
1. What do the dots in an electron dot diagram represent?
Protons
Neutrons
Valence electrons
All electrons
2. Valence electrons are found in the shell of an atom.
3. Electron dot diagrams are also known as structures.
4. All electrons in an atom are represented in an electron dot diagram.
True
False
5. Why are valence electrons important in chemistry?
6. Draw the electron dot diagram for an atom with 4 valence electrons.
7. Draw the electron dot diagram for an atom with 7 valence electrons.
