Question

Question 2 (1 point) when drawing Lewis dot symbols for individual atoms, most non-metals follow what is known as the octet rule. The octet rule states that atoms like to end up with electrons in their outer-most electron shell a) 10 O b) 6 c) 8 O d) 2 Save Question 3 (1 point) In a Lewis dot symbol for an element, the dots represent the number of in the a) electrons, electron cloud b) electrons, valence (or outer-most) shell c) electrons, core (or inner-most) shells O d) protons, nucleus estion 4 (1 4-backspacul

Explanation / Answer

Question 2.

They should always end up with EIGHT, 8 electrons, so they will be considered "stable"

Question 3.

The dots typically represent the number of electrons in the VALENCE of the atom, that is, onyl the outer shell

Question 4.

First, let us fill the Ar complete config.

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

after losing 2 electrons:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 - 2e-

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4
