Which of the following diagrams is the correct electron dot diagram for Ne?

B.

Explanation:

The electron dot diagram which is also known as the Lewis electron dot diagram is a diagram that shows an atom's valence electrons by placing dots, which represent the valence electrons of the element, around the elements symbol

The element for which the electron dot diagram is found = Neon, Ne

The atomic number of neon, Ne = 10

The electronic configuration of neon = 1s²2s²2p⁶

The valence shell is the outermost shell having   the highest value of the coefficient of the orbitals, n = 2s²2p⁶

The number valence electrons in neon = The number of electrons in the valency shell = 2 electrons + 6 electrons = 8 electrons

The number of valence electrons in neon = 8

Therefore, the electron dot diagram for neon will have 8 dots located around the Ne symbol, which gives option B

the catch is that the top numbers are atomic masses the bottom numbers are the numbers of protons and electrons in an uncharged atom. they are the number of that atoms as you would find them on the periodic table. further, the numbers on the left are used to determine the missing numbers on the right

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z

answer

The correct answer is c. orbital shape. "the angular momentum quantum number l describes the shape of an orbital. it corresponds to each orbital type, i.e. (0,1,2,−1)=(s,p,d,f,g,"
