Lewis Symbols Decoded: Simplifying Electron Counts

The video tutorial introduces Levis symbols, which represent valence electrons in atoms using dots around element symbols. It explains the Levis symbol for oxygen, highlighting its electronic configuration and valence electrons. The tutorial also discusses the significance of Levis symbols in determining an element's valency, using examples like carbon and nitrogen to illustrate how valency is calculated by subtracting the number of dots from eight.
