Lewis Dot Structures
Lewis dot structures are a simplified method to display the valence electron (outermost electrons) arrangement on an atom. 
It is these valence electrons that will take part in chemical reactions. In a chemical bond, atoms either share, donate, or accept these electrons.
Use the provided periodic table of the representative elements (groups 1-2 and 13-18 elements) to determine the number of valence electrons for each element.
Use a dot to represent a valence electron.
When adding dots around each element abbreviation, space out the dots, adding one dot to each side prior to pairing them up.

Click on the "Show Your Work" button and construct a Lewis Dot Structure for the following atom.

Click on the "Scribble" tool to add the necessary number of dots around the element symbol.

Tip - add one dot at a time in each side (there are four sides - remember the invisible box around the element symbol) before you attempt to pair the dots up.
