The Lewis dot structure for NaCl shows Na with one valence electron donating to Cl, which has 7 valence electrons. The resulting structure has Na surrounded by 8 electrons (full octet) and Cl surrounded by 8 electrons (full octet).
The coordination number of a cation in a NaCl structure is 6. Each cation is surrounded by 6 anions in an octahedral arrangement due to the 1:1 ratio of cations to anions in the NaCl structure.
The structure of crystals may be studied by diffractometry.
The Lewis structure for NaCl3 (sodium trichloride) cannot be accurately represented as sodium does not typically form compounds with three chlorine atoms due to its +1 oxidation state. Sodium typically forms compounds like NaCl (sodium chloride) where it only bonds to one chlorine atom.
In the Lewis electron dot structure for NaCl, sodium (Na) will donate its one valence electron to chlorine (Cl), which has seven valence electrons. This results in both Na and Cl achieving a full outer shell of electrons, making them stable. The final structure will show Na with no dots and Cl surrounded by eight dots.

The Lewis dot structure for germanium (Ge) is: Ge: :Ge:
Yes, CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) has a Lewis structure. The Lewis structure for CaCO3 shows the arrangement of all the atoms and the bonding between them using dots to represent the valence electrons.
The Lewis structure was created by American chemist Gilbert N. Lewis in 1916. Lewis proposed using dots to represent the valence electrons of an atom in order to show how atoms bond together in molecules.
The crystalline structure of sodium chloride is face-centered cubic.
A synonym for Lewis diagram is Lewis structure. It is a schematic representation of the bonding between atoms in a molecule and the arrangement of valence electrons around atoms.
