The following drawings represent possible electron dot diagrams for atoms having any possible number of
valence electrons:
The d-block transition metals are noticably absent from this discussion. The actions of their electrons
during bonding will be discussed at a later date.
Draw the appropriate number of dots around the following atoms to create correct electron dot structures:
Li
Ca
P
F
Sr
S
Br
Na
O
N
I
Rb
