Interpretation: Using the electron dot structure, the element needs to be identified.
Concept introduction: Electron dot structure for an atom is the structure which denotes the valence electrons around the elements.
Answer to Problem 28PP
The element is Beryllium
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given electron dot structure of the element which is solid at room temperature is as follows:
