Refer attached figure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The electron dot structure (Lewis structure) represents the number of valence electrons of an element in terms of dots around the symbol of the element.

Number of dots = Number of valence electrons

1. Aluminum:

Symbol = Al

Atomic number = 13

Main Group number = IIIA (3A) of the periodic table.

Group = Group 13 of periodic table

Number of valence electrons = Main group number = 3

Electron dot structure = (See attached figure)

2. Chlorine

Symbol = Cl

Atomic number = 17

Main group number = VIA (7A) of the periodic table.

Group = Group 17 of periodic table

Number of valence electrons = Main group number = 7

Electron dot structure = (See attached figure)
