Question

1. the lewis valence dot electron structures are used to illustrate the number of valence electrons of atoms of representative elements. considering this, use the periodic table to predict the number of \dots\ that should be drawn around antimony (sb) to represent its lewis dot structure.

Explanation:

Antimony (Sb) is in Group 15 of the Periodic Table. For representative elements, the group number (for groups 1 - 2 and 13 - 18) gives the number of valence electrons. Group 15 elements have 5 valence electrons. In a Lewis Dot Structure, each dot represents a valence electron.

Answer:

5
