Question

Write the electron dot structure for the following compound: ${\mathrm{H}}_2$

Answer 1

Electron dot structure

• A Lewis electron dot structure, also known as an electron dot structure, is a representation of an atom's valence electrons that uses dots around the element's symbol.
• The number of dots in the diagram represents the number of valence electrons in the atom.
• These dots are put to the right and left of the symbol, as well as above and below it, with no more than two dots on each side.

Electron dot structure for ${\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{2}}$

• On the periodic table, hydrogen $\left(\mathrm{H}\right)$ belongs to group $1$.
• As a result, the valence electron in hydrogen is $1$.
• The given molecule ${\mathrm{H}}_2$ is diatomic hydrogen.
• In the ${\mathrm{H}}_2$ molecule, there are two valence electrons.
• Electron dot structure is as follows:
