Draw the electron dot structure for each of the following atoms. a. Se b. P c. C d. I

Question:

Lewis Dot Structure:

Two of the most common ways of presenting the electrons in an atom are the electron configuration and the dot structure. The dot structure is easier because you just show the electrons in the outermost shell of the atom. The number of electrons generally corresponds to the group number of the element.

Answer and Explanation: 1

Selenium is in group 6. This means that selenium (Se) has 6 electrons in its outermost shell. The dot structure is shown below:
