The following Lewis diagram represents the valence electron configuration of a main-group element.
This element is in what group in the periodic table?
According to the octet rule, this element would be expected to form an ion with a charge of?
If X is in period 5, the ion formed has the same electron configuration as the noble gas?
What is the symbol for the ion?
When atoms react to form chemical bonds, only the electrons in the outermost or
valence shell are involved. Thus, the configuration of the valence shell is important
in bond formation. In order to place emphasis on the electrons in the outermost shell,
a special symbol known as Lewis diagram (also called electron-dot structures) is used.
Assuming that, element P has seven electrons, while element Q has eight electrons.
When element P shared electrons with element Q, it will form an anion.
Illustrate a 'dot and cross' diagram to show the bonding between element P and
element Q.
Based on the diagram, indicate the shape and the angle bond. Explain your answer.
The following Lewis diagram represents the valence electron configuration of a main-group element.If this element is in period 4, its valence electron configuration is .
