Lewis Dot Symbols definitions Flashcards

Diagrams representing valence electrons of an atom or ion using dots around the element's symbol.

Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, crucial for chemical bonding and reactivity.

Elements in groups 1A to 8A of the periodic table, with valence electrons equal to their group number.

Elements with valence electrons from both s and d orbitals, group number indicates valence electrons.

Arrangement of electrons in an atom's orbitals, essential for determining valence electrons.

Electrons in an atom that are not involved in bonding, represented by the element's symbol.

A tabular arrangement of elements, where group numbers help determine valence electrons.

Number assigned to a column in the periodic table, indicating valence electrons for main group elements.

Energy level where electrons reside, with valence electrons in the outermost shell.

Process where atoms combine by sharing or transferring valence electrons.

Tendency of an element to engage in chemical reactions, influenced by valence electrons.

Central part of an atom containing protons and neutrons, represented by the element's symbol.

Visual representations of valence electrons using dots around an element's symbol.

Electrons in the s orbital, contributing to the valence electrons in transition metals.

Electrons in the d orbital, included in the valence electron count for transition metals.
