The following Lewis structure was drawn for a Period 3 element. Identify the element.
To find the element you would have to count the number of electron are present in the lewis structure and match it up to the element in the third period of the periodic table, right? Thanks in advance.

Re: 2B.7
Correct; because every element has a unique atomic number that corresponds to their generic number of electrons (no exceptions are stated in this problem), finding the number of valence electrons and identifying the element in the table would get you to your answer.
