Which of the following is the correct representation of electron dot structure of nitrogen?
An electron dot structure represents the valence electrons as dots placed around the chemical symbol. Electrons are placed up to two on each side of the symbol for a maximum of eight, which is the number of electrons in a filled s and p shell.
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. When we draw the Lewis structure for Nitrogen we draw 5 ‘dots’ or valence electrons around the element symbol (N).
