plzzz help if you have a dot diagram with 8 dots( 4 pair) what does that tell you about the elements?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

can you be specific ? are you speaking of lewis dot structure?

OpenStudy (this):

yes

OpenStudy (this):

i already fine answer for that question

OpenStudy (aravindg):

if there are 8 dots means the element has achieved octet electronic configuration and is very stable..the noble elements(radon,neon xenon etc) are inert due to the fact that they have octet configuration

OpenStudy (aravindg):

then whats the matter?

OpenStudy (this):
