In the space provided below draw electron dot diagram's for the following molecules: hydrogen gas, ammonia, and methane. Remember that the dots represent the valence electrons.make sure that each atom in the molecules has eight valence electrons, except hydrogen, which only has two.

Answer:

Valence electrons H2=2

Valence electrons NH3=8

Valence electrons CH4=8

The attached figure shows the electron structures of each compound.

Step-by-step explanation:

The valence electrons of each molecule will be calculated first. And this is equal to the sum of the valence electrons of the atoms in the molecule.

Valence electrons H2=2*H=2*1=2

Valence electrons NH3=(1*N)+(3*H)=(1*5)+(3*1)=8

Valence electrons CH4=(1*C)+(4*H)=(1*4)+(4*1)=8
