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:
