Draw the Lewis Dot Structures for the Following Atoms: N, Na, Cl, Ne, Br

Here are the Lewis dot structures for the given atoms:

  • Nitrogen (N): Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. The Lewis dot structure for nitrogen is represented as:
          .
          N:
          .
        
  • Sodium (Na): Sodium has 1 valence electron. The Lewis dot structure for sodium is represented as:
          Na.
        
  • Chlorine (Cl): Chlorine has 7 valence electrons. The Lewis dot structure for chlorine is represented as:
          .
          :Cl:
          .
        
  • Neon (Ne): Neon has 8 valence electrons. The Lewis dot structure for neon is represented as:
          :Ne:
        
  • Bromine (Br): Bromine has 7 valence electrons. The Lewis dot structure for bromine is represented as:
          .
          :Br:
          .
        

These structures show the arrangement of valence electrons around the atoms, which helps in understanding their chemical bonding behavior.
