The dots and crosses represent the electrons in the outer shell of the atoms in the compound. So lithium will have 1 cross and sulfur will have 6 dots. Sulfur needs 8 dots to have a full outer shell so two lithium atoms must give their outer electrons to the sulfur. This mean that the ionic compound is Li2S.You draw this as [Li]+ [S]2- [Li]+ with 6 dots and 2 crosses around the S to show what electrons it has. The crosses were given to it by the lithium atoms. This diagram shows you where the electrons in the compound have come from.You use dots and crosses so that you can distinguish the atoms the electrons came from originally.... Show More
