Answer:
Your answer is A
Explanation:
The three main subatomic particles that form an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons
The elements that form anions will have the electronic configuration similar to the noble gas that is in their period and those that form cations will have a configuration similar to that of the noble gas in the previous period.
He: Be
Ne: F, Al
Ar: Ca, P
Kr: Rb, Se
Answer:
Refer to your periodic table. Lewis dot structures are based off the number of valence electrons an atom has.
Looking at the compounds, we can see that Gallium has three valence electrons in its outer shell and oxygen has six. Oxygen and Gallium are going to share electrons with one another, making a V shape in their diagram.
One Oxygen would make a double bond with a Gallium, leaving one valence electron to another oxygen. That oxygen takes that Final electron. It now has 7 in its outer shell. The remaining Gallium and Oxygen do the same double bond as the one before, leaving the 7 valence electron oxygen with one more electron.
