Question

If an element has 1 valence electrons, how many dots will be in the elements dot diagram? ________ dots

Answer 1

If an element has 1 valence electron, according to the Lewis dot diagram structure there would have 1 dot to represent that one valence electron.

Answer 2

One dot

Step-by-step explanation:

In Chemical world, Lewis dot structure/electron dot structure is used to represent the number of valence electron in an element through dots. In normal scenario, an element consists of maximum 8 dots with two dots on all the four sides of the element symbol i.e left , right, above and below the symbol.

Therefore an element having 1 valence electron will be represented by one dot
