<h2>In the name, iron(III) oxide, the (III) represents: D) the electrical charge of iron</h2><h2>
Explanation:</h2>
To attain stability the chemical bond is formed .
Chemical bond
It is a kind of linkage that binds one atom with the other .
The atoms do so in order to attain stable noble gas configuration .
To form chemical bond they either:
Loose electrons : when atoms loose electrons they acquire positive charge which is equal to the number of electrons lost .
Gain electrons: After gaining electrons they acquire negative charge which is equal to the number of electrons gained by an atom.
share electrons : With sharing no charges are develop .
<em>In the above asked question when iron combines with oxygen it forms iron oxide : where iron looses 3 electrons and oxygen gains 2 electrons .That is the reason ,III here represents the electrical charge of iron</em>

Lewis Structure is drawn in following steps,
1) Calculate Number of Valence Electrons: # of Valence electrons in Mg = 2
# of Valence electrons in I = 7
# of Valence electrons in I = 7
---------
Total Valence electrons = 16
2) Draw Mg as a central atom surround it by two atoms of Iodine.3) Connect each Iodine atom to Mg, and subtract two electrons per bond. In this case we will subtract 4 electrons from total valence electrons. i.e.
Total Valence electrons 16
- Four electrons - 4
----------
12
4) Now start adding the remaining 12 electrons on more electronegative atoms i.e. Iodine.
The final lewis structure formed is as follow,
Answer:
Explanation:
Lewis dot structures represent the symbol of an atom we're looking at and the number of valence electrons it has. This number is represented by the sum of dots around the symbol.
- Potassium is in group 1A, this means it only has one valence electron, so we draw K with one dot in its Lewis diagram;
- Argon is in group 8A, this means it has eight valence electrons, so we draw Ar with 8 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
- Silicon is in group 4A, this means it has four valence electrons, so we draw Si with 4 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
- Arsenic is in group 5A, this means it has five valence electrons, so we draw As with 5 dots around it in its Lewis diagram.
Those are represented in the image attached below:
