Can any one help me with ELECTRON DOT DIAGRAMS, worth 25% of my grade.OKay the book gave me examples of elements in the periodic table which are the following:H (hydrogen) 1 dotLi (lithium) 1 dot Na (sodium) 1 dotK (potassium) 1 dotRb (rubidium) 1 dotCs (cesium) 1 dotFr (francium) 1 dotNow i understand all the way up to (K) I don't seem to see how they got one dot from then and thereonMy assignment on my paper is to draw electron dot diagrams for the following:Hydrogen, sodium, neon, fluorine, carbon, oxygen, calcium, aluminumThese are my answersPlease correct and explain my incorrect answers, thank you.H (hydrogen)1 dotS (sodium) 1 dotNe (neon) 8 dotsF (fluorine) 7 dotsC (carbon) 4 dotsO (oxygen) 6 dotsC(calcium) ??Al (aluminum) 3 dotsExplain if im wrong please thank you.

All of your answers are rightA few things thoughThe symbol for sodium is Na not S (that's sulfur)Also, calcium (Ca) has two dots A nice thing to remember is that electron dot diagrams for main group elements (no transition or rare earth metals) will be the same for elements in the same group or column of the periodicThis is because elements in the same group have the same number of valence electronsSo: Group IA or 1 1 dot Group IIA or 2 2 dots Group IIIA or 13 3 dots Group IVA or 14 4 dots Group VA or 15 5 dots Group VIA or 16 6 dots Group VIIA or 17 7 dots Group 0 or 18 8 dots Hope this helps
