Why do you have to write the chemical symbol in the middle of a Lewsi dot?
Because there are seveal elements in the same group that have the same number of valence electrons
What does the group number tell you about the elements within it?
How many valence electrons there are in those elements
Name three elements in the same period.
Carbon Oxygen and Beryllium
Boron Lithium Neon
