Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis 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 Lewisstructure.
