Which is the correct Electron Dot Diagram (Lewis Dot Structure) for Magnesium? A (A) (B) B C Mg D :ddot (M)g:

# ExplanationThe electron dot diagram, also known as the Lewis dot structure, represents the valence electrons of an atom. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and are involved in bonding. Magnesium (Mg) is a metal located in the second group of the periodic table. This means it has two valence electrons. In the Lewis dot structure, these electrons are represented as dots around the symbol of the element. # AnswerThe correct Lewis dot structure for Magnesium is (A) . This diagram correctly shows the two valence electrons of Magnesium.
