The dots in the Lewis dot structure symbolize an atom's elements.
<span>Since Na^+ is a positive ion (cation) with a charge of +1, it indicates that it has lost an electron. </span>
<span>Since Na had one electron, to begin with, and it is now lost, Na^+ will have no dots. However, the charge must still be written as a superscript. </span>
<span>Therefore, the Lewis dot structure for Na^+ is just Na^[+] </span>
