How many dots would the correct lewis-dot structure for carbon have? 1 4 3 2

When creating a Lewis-Dot structure for Carbon, you'll want to put 4 "dots"

The correct answer is 4

Explanation:

Hi!

Let's solve this!

The Lewis-Dots structure puts points simulating that they are electrons. To know how many points to put, we have to know the amount of electrons in the last layer.

In the case of Carbon, the number of electrons is four.

Then, we conclude that the number of points we have to write is 4.

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
