(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis dot structure of the given element is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structure is a representation of a chemical formula of a substance with valance electrons of an atom. The Lewis structures are also called electron dot structures. In the Lewis structure, electrons are denoted by dots. Only the valence electrons are presented as dots in the Lewis structure.

- Draw Lewis structures for the elements given in Exercise 4.4.arrow_forwardBased on the Lewis structures for hydrogen and helium, explain why buoyant balloons are filled with helium instead of hydrogen gas, even though hydrogen gas is cheaper and more buoyant. HHe:: a. Helium's duet makes it stable and inert (unreactive). b. Helium's duet makes it unstable and chemically reactive. c. Helium has one more electron than hydrogen, which helps add color to the balloon.arrow_forwardIn forming an ionic bond with an atom of chlorine, a sodium atom will: a.receive one electron from the chlorine atom. b.receive two electrons from the chlorine atom. c.give up one electron to the chlorine atom. d.give up two electrons to the chlorine atom.arrow_forward
