Gianna Joseph · Answer 1

The answer is one dot.

The number of dots an element has represented in the diagram, indicates how many valence eletrons (which is the number of electrons in the most exterior energy level of an atom or ion) the element has. So, 1 valence eletron equals one dot.

Guillermo Butler · Answer 2

There should only be one dot in the elements dot diagram.
