Question

(a) Write the electron dot structure for Chlorine, Magnesium.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The main requirement to draw the electron dot structure is the valence electrons. Accordingly, the valence electron of magnesium and chlorine are 2 and 7 respectively. The element which has electrons less than 4 donates electron whereas more than 4 accepts electrons to attain octet.
