how many dots should be placed around argon in a dot diagram

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

helium and neon and they have their outer most shell completely filled with its electrons ( 8 valence electrons ), which makes them non-reactive with any other element or compound.

Every valence electron in the Lewis structure of an atom is represented with a dot therefore the 8 valence electrons in Argon will be represented with 8 dots.

Hence we can conclude that the number of dots that should be placed around Argon in a dot diagram is 8.
