Chapter 10, Problem 94E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The electron configurations and Lewis structure for each element are to be written. The electrons that are shown in the Lewis structure are to be indicated.

Concept introduction:

Electronic configuration is determined by knowing the atomic number of an element which indicates the number of electrons of an atom.

The electrons present in the outermost shell of an element are called valence electrons.

In Lewis structure, valence electrons of an element are shown in the form of dots around the symbol of an element.
