Question

How many dots would the correct Lewis-Dot structure for carbon have? 1 4 3 2

Answer 1

When creating a Lewis-Dot structure for Carbon, you'll want to put 4 "dots"

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is 4

Explanation:

Hi!

Let's solve this!

The Lewis-Dots structure puts points simulating that they are electrons. To know how many points to put, we have to know the amount of electrons in the last layer.

In the case of Carbon, the number of electrons is four.

Then, we conclude that the number of points we have to write is 4.
