The electron dot diagram for an unknown element x is shown. what element could this diagram represent? electron-dot structure for an unknown element x with four dots, one on each sidea. chlorineb. magnesiumc. phosphorusd. silicone. sulfur hurry. i need it asap

D - Silicon

This is because Silicon has four electrons as indicated by the group it's in. Chlorine would have 7, Magnesium would have 2, Phosphorous would have 5, and Sulfur would have 6.

Hope this helps!

electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopes gives us a greater understanding of atoms by being able to see the atom itself, and lets us see some atomic reactions.

explanation:

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
