i need to know this information and much more information for school. and i wish you can help me on it. what does a dot diagram show? what are two things a dot diagram must show? how can the group number help in determining the number of valence electrons? what is true for the dot diagram for every element in a group? what is helium's dot diagram? why is helium's dot diagram different? what do electron configurations show? how is the total number of electrons for an aton determined? what do all the number in the electron configuration equal to? why is knowing the period an element is in necessary to write a correct electron configuration? what does the group number tell us about the electron configuration? what are the electron configurations of Lithium (Li), Carbon (C), Magnesium (Mg), Silicon (Si), Chlorine (Cl), Potassium (K)?

A dot and cross diagram is a simple way to show the bonding in a molecule using dots to represent valence electrons from one atom and crosses to represent valence electrons from another atom. It is created by placing the dots and crosses around the chemical symbols of the atoms involved to indicate the sharing or transfer of electrons in the bonding.
Well you start by drawing the complete atomic number and then you electronically save the configuaration by drawing the full plasto invitro. Then the negative ions are stored so you do that by drawing that as a diagram and then finally you form the atoms as if they are gaining electrons.
Do not need to include ionic charge.
Remember that dots are shared electrons by covalent bonding and crosses are free electrons, only draw the outer electron valence shell.

1. An electron dot diagram can show you that the symbols for an element surrounded by dots. Each dot stands for 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.
