In an electron dot diagram of aluminum how many dots should be drawn around the elements symbol?

you draw the three valence electrons around Al. It does not matter where they are around the symbol, but you can't have more than one dot on each side. Although, if you have more than 4 valence electrons, you can put the extras on whatever side.

Electron structure is 2.8.3
Energy levels are all increasing.
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1
Draw two axes at right angles. Label vertical one energy, horizontal one electron shell. Mark 1, 2, 3 along horizontal axis.
Put 1s2 on a short line a little way up the energy axis, above 1 on the horizontal axis.
Then higher up energy axis put 2s2 above 2 on the horizontal axis.
Then little higher up energy axis put 2p6 above 2 on the horizontal axis.
then 3rd level
Then higher up energy axis put 3s2 above 3 on the horizontal axis.
Then little higher up energy axis put 3p1 above 3 on the horizontal axis.
It will look a bit like staggered steps.
OK?

1 element X has an electron-dot diagram name at least two elements which could be X?
If youre using this information for a lab, as I am, then element X had 5 dots located around its electron dot diagram. Two possibilities are Arsenic (As) and Nitrogen (N) because they are in column VA. Hope this helps!
What is the electron dot diagram for chlorine gas?
Cl--Cl with three lone pairs around each
Approximately what percentage of the elements are metals?
Around 80 percent of the elements on the Periodic Table are metals. Some of the metals are tin, aluminum, francium, lead, and magnesium.
What is the system used to represent the valence electrons around the chemical symbol of an element?
The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom is known as the valence electrons. These valence electrons determine the reactivity of the atom.
How do you draw an electron dot diagram for ammonia?
It is very easy. Take a nitrogen atom at center. Draw 5 valence electrons around it (keep two of them in pairs). Now take 3 hydrogen atoms in front of every free electron. Draw the electron of each hydrogen atom. Click Here to see the diagram I have drawn using using MS Paint.

Does a Lewis dot diagram show only the valence electrons?
Yes, in a Lewis diagram, the valence electrons are shown by dots around them.
What is a molecular orbital diagram?
An orbital diagram is used to show how the orbitals of a subshell areoccupied by electrons. The two spin projections are given by arrowspointing up (ms =+1/2) and down (ms = -1/2). Thus, electronicconfiguration 1s22s22p1 corresponds to the orbital diagram:

"The electron dot diagram is used by scientists to represent electron sharing. The chemical symbol is in the center to represent the nucleus and inner energy level. Dots surrounding the symbol represents the valence electrons." that is the electron dot Diagram.. Sorry, i cant do more than that....
