Questions And Answers.
bonding is a result of... - Answer atoms interacting with valence electrons
for elements in group 1A-8A the group number = - Answer the number of valence electrons
how to draw a lewis electron-dot diagram - Answer 1. note the A-group number, this tells the
valence electrons
2. place one dot at a time on each of the four sides of the element symbol
3. keep adding dots, pairing them until all are used
