Question

1. Draw the Dot Structure for Na!

Answer 1

Answer:

Na ·

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the Lewis dot structure of any element illustrates the number of valence electrons at the outer shell; we can set up the electron configuration of sodium to obtain:

$Na^1^1\rightarrow 1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^1$

We can see there is only one valence electron, for that reason the Lewis dot structure is:

Na ·

Whereas the dot represents the valence electron.
