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.
