Evidence boundary

This answer writes Lewis dot symbols for the eight monatomic ions formed from the listed elements. It uses the valence-electron count of each neutral atom and the electron change needed to reach a noble-gas configuration; it does not treat larger polyatomic ions such as sulfate or nitrate, and it does not describe bonding between ions in a solid or in solution.
