Electron Dot Structure or Lewis Dot Structures
Valence Electrons Valence electrons are the electrons in the highest occupied energy level of the atom. Valence electrons are the only electrons generally involved in bond formation. The valence electrons in the s and p orbitals are written around the element symbol. These electrons are then used to determine the number of bonds formed in making a molecule.

Oxygen and Chlorine Atoms
Elements within the same group have the same electron-dot structure.
