The dots are the valence electrons in the outermost shell of an element.
The number of valence electrons are the group number of the element (H=1, O=6, C=4 etc.)

Is each dots in an electron dot diagram used to represent valance electrons?
Yes, the dots in an electron dot diagram represent valence electrons.
What do the dots in a Lewis structure represent?
Valence electrons.
What does each dot in an electron-dot diagram represent?
each dot in an electron-dot diagram represents valence electrons or "available" electrons of each element. For example, Oxygen has 6 valence electrons so it has six dots around it. The number of valence electrons are found at the top of each group on the periodic table. Nitrogen has 5, Oxygen 6, Fluorine has 7...and so on! hope this helps
How many dots are shown in the electron dot diagram of Fe2O3?
Three for each Ferric ion and 2 for each Oxide ion, so twelve (3x2 + 2x3) all together: O::Fe:O:Fe::O
Lewis dot diagram for Li?
Iodine is a diatomic molecule so it's molecules are paired as I2 Iodine has 7 electrons in it's outer shell so 1 electron is shared by each atom. Three sides of each atom will have 2 dots the fourth side of each atom having the shared dots
Is each dots in an electron dot diagram used to represent valance electrons?
Yes, the dots in an electron dot diagram represent valence electrons.
What information can you get from electron dot diagram?
1. An electron dot diagram can show you that the symbols for an element surrounded by dots. Each dot stands for one valence electron.
What do the dots in a Lewis structure represent?

What is the Lewis Dot Diagram for Sn?
Captial letter N with a dot on each side and a second dot on one of the sides, these dots represent valence electrons
How many dots are shown in the electron dot diagram of Fe2O3?
Three for each Ferric ion and 2 for each Oxide ion, so twelve (3x2 + 2x3) all together: O::Fe:O:Fe::O

What does a electron dot diagram tell you about a element?
It indicates the number of valence electrons, and atoms must bond in certain ways to fulfill the Octet Rule. If the electronegativities of two elements are known, the type of bond that will form is also known (ionic, polar, nonpolar) and this information can be crossed with the dot diagram to tell in what ratio exactly the two elements will bond to form compounds.
What do lines represent in an electric field diagram?
The lines in each diagram represent an electric field. The stronger the field, the close together the lines are.
What are diagrams?
There are two types of diagrams one is the Lewis diagram the other is the Electron dot diagram. To make the electron dot diagram you put the electron symbol and put a dot on one of the sides for each period (you don't count the middle section.) . . :Ne: = Neon dot diagram ' '
What do lines represent in an electirc field diagram?
The lines in each diagram represent an electric field. The stronger the field, the close together the lines are.
How do you draw Lewis dot diagram of Br with a negative charge?
Br- ion will have 8 valence electrons. So to write the Lewis structure, write the symbol Br, with 8 dots around it. Each dot will correspond to one electron.
