If an element has 1 valence electron, according to the Lewis dot diagram structure there would have 1 dot to represent that one valence electron.

Answer:

One dot

Explanation:

In Chemical world, Lewis dot structure/electron dot structure is used to represent the number of valence electron in an element through dots. In normal scenario, an element consists of maximum 8 dots with two dots on all the four sides of the element symbol  i.e left , right, above and below  the symbol.

Therefore an element having 1 valence electron will be represented by one dot
