A.

The number before the A at the top of a column is called the group number and it’s equal to the number of electrons that atom has in the last level. Those are the electrons that we draw in the diagram (the rest of the electrons are inner electrons). Example: F has a total of 9 electrons, which are 7 external electrons and 2 internal electrons, and it belongs to group VIIA. So we will draw 7 dots for F.

Not all atoms have an A at the top of a colum. Others have a B instead. But in that case, that number is not related to the external electrons. For example: Ti has 22 electrons, which are 2 external and 20 internal, and it belongs to group IV B. For these elements, we focus on the oxidation number to study their compounds, and we usually don’t make dot diagrams for those compounds. These are called transition elements.

The number of row is called the period number and it shows how many electron levels the atom has. For example: K is in period 4, and it has: 2 electrons in the first level, 8 electrons in the second level, 8 electrons in the third level and 1 electron in the fourth level, which makes a total of 19 electrons. The fourth level is the outer level. As the fourth level has 1 electron, we would draw 1 electron in the dot diagram.

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

explanation

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the $3d$ have energy higher than those in the $4 s$ orbital while lower than those of the $4 p$ orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the $4s$ orbital is therefore filled right after $3p$ orbitals and before $3 d$ orbitals.

potassium has electron configuration $[\text{ar}] 4 s^{1}$ and calcium $[\text{ar}] 4 s^{2}$ . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration $[\text{ar}] 4 s^{2} \; 3d^{1}$ and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the $ns^{2} \; (n-1) p^{1}$ and should be highlighted as well.
