For each of the highlighted positions on the periodic table, write a Lewis structure for an atom of the element and for the common ion that it forms. Use the generic symbol X for each element. For example, rather than writing $\cdot \text{Na and }{\left[\text{Na}\right]}^{\text{+}}$ for sodium and sodium ion, respectively, you should write $\cdot \text{X and }{\left[\text{X}\right]}^{\text{+}}$.
