How many dots should be indicated in the electron dot structure of arsenic

Answer :  The number of dots indicated in the electron dot structure of arsenic should be, five (5).

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It is also known as electron dot structure. It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given element is, arsenic (As)

The element arsenic belongs to the group 5 that means the it has '5' valence electrons.

Hence, the number of dots indicated in the electron dot structure of arsenic should be, five (5).

The electron-dot structure of arsenic (As) is shown below.
