Answer:

The electrons in the outermost shell are used to determine the dot structure.

Explanation:

According to Lewis, the structure of a molecule could be determined by accurately determining the number of electrons on the outermost shell of the Central atom. Silicon has four valence electrons on its outermost shell and it is the central atom in silicon dioxide. Silicon dioxide is a linear molecule as it forms two double bonds with oxygen.

ehidna [41]

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here are the options:

Which of the following is LESS dense than water?

The spoon

The glass

The tablets

The bubbles

The correct answer to this question is The bubbles

Explanation:

In general, the density of materials and substances affects their buoyancy. This implies in water less dense materials will float and those with higher density will sink. In the situation presented, the only element that is less dense than water are bubbles; this is shown by the movement of the bubbles as these originate in the bottom of the glass of water but they rise to the surface, which shows they are less dense than water.
