BeauThe Lewis electron dot structure for CH2I2 (diiodomethane) consists of 2 iodine atoms each forming single bonds with the central carbon atom and 2 pairs of non-bonding electrons on each iodine atom. The carbon atom has two pairs of non-bonding electrons as well. The structure can be represented as C with I on each side bonded by 2 lines and with 2 dots on each I atom.

How many electron dots should Arsenic have?
Arsenic should have 5 electron dots in its Lewis structure, one for each valence electron.
How many Lewis dots does gold have?
The Lewis Dot form of gold would be the Au (the symbol for gold) with a single dot. The dot represents gold's single valence electron.
How many dots have silver in Lewis diagram?
It would be the atomic symbol for silver (Ag) with however many dots around it as the number of valence electrons. The dots are placed with a maximum of two on each side bringing the highest total to eight, reserved for the noble gases. The Lewis dot diagram for silver would be .Ag (the dot can go on any side; it does not make a difference.)
What are the symbols that use electron dot notation to represent molecules called?
The symbols that use electron dot notation to represent molecules are called Lewis structures. These structures use dots to represent valence electrons around atoms in a molecule.
Does a Lewis dot diagram show only the valence electrons?
Yes, in a Lewis diagram, the valence electrons are shown by dots around them.
