Question

compare the bohr model and lewis dot structure of an oxygen atom. the lewis dot structure shows the six electrons that occupy the bohr models outermost energy shell. bohr model of oxygen lewis dot structure of oxygen to construct a lewis dot structure, dots representing the valence electrons are placed one at a time around the elements chemical symbol. one dot is added to each of the four sides before any dots are paired. select all the correct lewis dot structures for a phosphorus atom. refer to a periodic table.

Explanation:

Phosphorus has an atomic number of 15 and 5 valence electrons. In Lewis - dot structures, dots represent valence electrons. The dots are placed one at a time around the element's symbol (P) before pairing. All the given structures correctly represent the 5 valence electrons of phosphorus in different arrangements that follow the rules of Lewis - dot structure construction.

Answer:

All of the provided Lewis - dot structures for phosphorus are correct.
