Learn how to create a Lewis dot diagram for silver, a chemical element with the symbol Ag. Find out the number of valence electrons and the placement of dots around the atomic symbol to represent the electron configuration of silver.

Lewis dot structures represent atoms with their atomic symbol surrounded by valence electrons, which are represented as dots. This type of symbolic representation can help describe compound formation, especially for covalent compounds.

To use the Lewis Structure Calculator follow these steps: Enter the formula of the molecule in the field provided for it. For example, if we want to obtain the Lewis structure of the Sulfate ion, SO 4 – 2, we must first enter the charge by typing (-2) or by entering -2 in the charge field and pressing

A Lewis electron dot diagram (or electron dot diagram, or a Lewis diagram, or a Lewis structure) is a representation of the valence electrons of an atom that uses dots around the symbol of the element. The number of dots equals the number of valence electrons in the atom.
