All of the dots in a Lewis symbol represent the valence electrons of an atom. Valence electrons are responsible for the atom's chemical properties and can be determined by the group number of the element on the periodic table.
All of the dots in a Lewis symbol represent the valence electrons of an atom. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom and are responsible for the atom's chemical properties. The number of valence electrons can be determined by looking at the group number (also known as the column number) of the element on the periodic table.
For example, oxygen (O) is in group 16, so it has six valence electrons. Its Lewis symbol would have six dots surrounding the elemental symbol.
Similarly, chlorine (Cl) is in group 17, so it has seven valence electrons. Its Lewis symbol would have seven dots surrounding the elemental symbol.

Spell out the full name of the compound.
B. The electrons in the atom orbit around the protons.
C. The electrons are embedded in a positive sphere.
B. element.
C. molecule.
D. compound.
Answer: B. element.
Explanation:
An atom is the smallest unit of any matter which may or may not have independent existence.
Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper
Molecule is the smallest unit of any matter which always have independent existence.
Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: water
nonpolar covalent bond (with LD force)
Answer:
The half life of the radioisotope is 12 hours.
Explanation:
Initial mass of the radioisotope = x
Final mass of the radioisotope = = 0.0625x
Half life of the radioisotope =
Age of the radioisotope = t = 48 hours
Formula used :
where,
= initial mass of isotope
N = mass of the parent isotope left after the time, (t)
= half life of the isotope
= rate constant
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get
The half life of the radioisotope is 12 hours.
