Title: Help with Valence electrons and Lewis Diagrams
Post by: IHaveTheBananas on November 13, 2020, 01:28:00 PM

I'm taking 10th grade Chemistry, we just started looking at Valence electrons, along with electron configurations, and Lewis diagrams. I am really confused with an assignment I have. I need to make different elements ions electron configurations, but I don't know how to find the valence electrons of an ion, also, where do the dots go in a Lewis Diagram, and how do I find the valence electrons of transition metals?

These are a lot of very general questions. I suggest looking in your chemistry textbook for explanations of these topics and if you have specific questions about specific problems, you post those here.
