(a)
Interpretation:
Lewis symbols for elements with the electronic configuration
Concept Introduction:
Lewis symbol:
A Lewis symbol is a pictorial representation of an element surrounded by dots indicating number of electrons in the outer energy level. The group number of the element indicates number of valence electrons.
By using an electron configuration of an atom, we can draw its Lewis symbol by drawing the chemical symbol of the element surrounded by the appropriate number of valence electrons.

- 7.107 How do the Lewis symbols for C, Si, and Ge reflect the similarity in their electron configurations?arrow_forwardDoes a Lewis structure tell which electrons came from which atoms? Explain.arrow_forwardThink of forming an ionic compound as three steps (this is a simplification, as with all models): (I) removing an electron from the metal; (2) adding an electron to the nonmetal; and (3) allowing the metal cation and nonmetal anion to come together. a. What is the sign of the energy change for each of these three processes? b. In general, what is the sign of the sum of the first two processes? Use examples to support your answer. c. What must be the sign of the sum of the three process d. Given your answer to part c, why do ionic bonds occur? e. Given your above explanations, why is NaCl stable but not Na2Cl? NaCl2? What about MgO compared to MgO2? Mg2O?arrow_forward
