How do you display valence electrons around an atom or element?

Now that we know how to count the valence electrons we should learn the most common way to display them. This method is known as the valence electron dot method. It involves writing the atom or element you want to display as it’s letter symbol and then placing the valence electrons around it as dots.

Examples: Draw the valence electron dot representation of the elements below. Look at your valence electron periodic table while figuring these out. VIDEO Drawing Valence Electrons Around Atoms Examples 1.
