Question

A student made the Lewis dot diagram of a compound as shown.

Mg is written with two dots shown on its top. Cl is written on the right side of Mg. Cl has seven dots around it. An arrow is shown from one dot on Mg toward the vacant space around Cl. Another arrow is shown from the other dot on Mg toward the vacant space around Cl. On the top, the art title is written as Students Lewis Dot Model.

What is the error in the Lewis dot diagram? (3 points)
Another Cl should be shown around Mg that will transfer its unpaired electron to Mg.
The number of dots around Mg should be one because there is only one Cl around Mg atom.
Another Cl should be shown around Mg that will receive the second electron on Mg.
The number of dots around Cl should be six because it is receiving two electrons from Mg.

Answer 1
