Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the element for which you need to draw the Lewis Dot symbol. In this case, it is Lead (Pb).
Determine the number of valence electrons for Lead. Lead is in group 14 of the periodic table, which means it has 4 valence electrons.
Draw the chemical symbol for Lead, 'Pb', as the central part of the Lewis Dot structure.
Place the 4 valence electrons around the symbol 'Pb'. These electrons are represented as dots. Distribute them evenly around the symbol, one on each side, before pairing them up.
Ensure that the dots are placed correctly to represent the valence electrons, which should be shown as single dots around the symbol 'Pb'.
