Here we're told to draw the Lewis symbol for the following element, tellurium. Now step zero tells us to identify if the element is a main group element or a transition metal. Solarium itself is in Group 6A, making it a main group element. So we're going to start off by writing tellerium. TE step one tells us to place one valence electron at a time on the four sides of the element, and we're going to start from the top of the element and move clockwise.
Tellurium, since it's in Group 6A, has six valence electrons. We're going to add the first one here. Step 2 tells me to continue adding electrons, pairing them up until you have reached the appropriate number of valence electrons, SO1234. I still have two more to draw, so keep going clockwise 5-6.
Step three tells me if you are given an ion, place it in brackets and put its charge in the upper right corner. Remember a cation is a positive ion. We get those by removing electrons, so we'd have to start removing these valence electrons. For an anion which is a negative ion, you would be gaining electrons, so you'd be adding those electrons.
Here, tellurium is not an ion, It has no visible charge, no positive or negative charge present. So this would simply be our answer here. It would just be tellerium with our six dots.
