D
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the element Sr, which is Strontium, located in Group 2 of the periodic table.
Determine the number of valence electrons for Strontium. Elements in Group 2 have 2 valence electrons.
Draw the symbol for Strontium (Sr) as the central part of the Lewis Dot symbol.
Place one dot on each side of the Sr symbol to represent the two valence electrons. Since there are only two electrons, they can be placed on any two sides of the symbol.
Ensure that the dots are evenly distributed around the symbol, reflecting the two valence electrons of Strontium.
