Valence shell electrons. For representing the atomic bonding process.
Valence electrons are represented as dots in Lewis 'dot' structures.
H:O:H
The electron configuration of krypton is: [Ar]3d104s24p6.
Let's start with an element such as Carbon. C has 4 valence electrons on it's outer shell. To draw C simply put the letter C in the middle and draw 4 dots around it. **Example***(Notice if you count...
