E.T.D.

Explain how the electron dot diagrams are used in chemistry? Also tell me what it is?

They are where the electrons are. It surrounds the nucleus. They are in like a little ring around it. They are used because they like show where and how many of the electrons there are.

The electron dot diagram is a method that uses the symbol of the element and dots to represent the electrons in the outer energy level. It is used to show how the electros in the outer energy level are bonded when the elements combine to form compounds. G. N. Lewis created this method.

the electrons are in there. the elecrons surrounds the nucleus.it is used to show how many electrons are on an element.

The Electron Dot Diagram is a diagram that shows the bonding of atoms of a molecule. It is also called a Lewis Dot Diagram, or Lewis Structure.

This diagram is used to show what electrons and, how many are in the outer energy of a nucleaus. It is very easy to use and understand.

Its used to show electrons and the different types of them and they show you how much you have and it shows you the different types of energy levels. It shows the outer ones that they are bonded when the elemnts are combined. It is also a method that we use the symbol of the element and the dots are used to represent the electrons in the outer energy level.

the electron dot diagram is a diagram that uses dots to show how many electrons are in the outer energy level. This shows how the electrons connect with the elements

the elctron dot diagram show them surrouinding the nuclues like it is a wolf pack surrounding a small deer, they use it like this so they are able to count the number of elctrons are

it is a model used to show electrons in the ourter energy level. it was created by G.N. Lewis. it uses the symbol of the element to represent the electrons.

Mal said...

It is used in chemistry b/c the electrons are organized into different layers/ rings. So that shows how many electrons are in a element. And so in chemistry is shows the amount of electrons and the can be a part of the elements formula and stuff.

It uses the symbol for an elementand dots representing the number of electrons in the element's outer energy level. It is the outer layer containing the electron cloud.
