Question

Draw the electron dot structure of Sodium ($\mathrm{Na}$) and Oxygen ($\mathrm{O}$).

Answer 1

Electron dot structure:-

1. This is actually a diagrammatic representation of the elements which is also known as Lewis structure.
2. This will actually show the bonding between the atoms of the molecule or the lone pairs of the electrons that will exist in the molecules.
3. In $\mathrm{Na}$ atom there is the presence of 1 valence electron and it is also a metal therefore.
4. In $\mathrm{O}$ atom, there are 6 valence electrons.
5. Hence, the electron dot structure of Sodium and Oxygen respectively are:
