multiple - choice question
in a lewis dot structure, what is represented by dots
neutrons
valence electrons
protons
all electrons
Brief Explanations
Lewis dot structures use dots to represent the valence electrons of an atom. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell and are involved in chemical bonding. Neutrons and protons are not represented by dots in Lewis - dot structures, and it is not all electrons but only valence electrons that are shown.
