I am trying to help my 15 yr old daughter. She needs to draw a lewis structure for cobalt.?

Question

She is doing a project for science. She has all the information but we have looked on the internet for the lewis structure and we are kind of confuese. If anyone knows of a good site that is easy to figure out we would appreciate it.

Answer 1

Lewis Diagrams show the electron orbitals around an element. You basically write the element's symbol, figure out how many electrons it has, and draw in dots around the symbol. here's a good site explaining it:

Answer 2

If you put your question in the category for primary and secondary education, you will probably get more answers than under preschool.  I just thought this would help you.

Answer 3

go to the search bar type lewis structure and press image and you get all that you need.
