Draw the Lewis dot structure for Ca. Use the periodic table to help you determine the number of valence electrons.

You can draw the dot structure either on the computer or take a picture, save as a jpg or png and upload the file. You can also
upload a word document, pdf or gif file.

I can't create visual images or upload files, but I can guide you on how to draw the Lewis dot structure for calcium (Ca).

Calcium is in Group 2 of the periodic table, which means it has 2 valence electrons. To draw the Lewis dot structure:

  1. Write the symbol for calcium (Ca).
  2. Place two dots around the symbol to represent the two valence electrons.

Here's a simple text representation:

  •
Ca •

You can place the dots on either side of the 'Ca' symbol. For example, you could place them to the right and left, or one above and one below. The key is to represent that there are two valence electrons around the calcium atom.
