For \( \text{N}_2 \), the Lewis dot diagram shows two nitrogen (N) atoms each with three valence electrons, sharing a triple bond between them. This means you’ll see three lines connecting the N atoms, with each N atom having one lone pair of electrons, depicted as dots around each nitrogen. For \( \text{PCl}_3 \), the Lewis dot diagram features a phosphorus (P) atom in the center, surrounded by three chlorine (Cl) atoms. Phosphorus has five valence electrons while each chlorine has seven. In this diagram, you’ll show three single bonds connecting P to each Cl, along with one lone pair of electrons on the phosphorus atom, and three lone pairs around each chlorine atom.
