Question

lewis dot structure of Fe​

Answer 1

Answer:

To draw lewis dot structures, you first must know the number of valence electrons the atom has. By writing Fe in a noble gas configuration, you get [Ar] 3d6 4s2. By looking at this, since iron is a transition metal, you can see that iron technically has 8 valence electrons, but when bonding, it doesn’t always use all 8 valence electrons.

This is because Iron technically has two valence electrons in the outermost shell, but it can also take from inner shells since it is a transition metal.
