Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
To draw a Lewis structure, one must know the
A
number of valence electrons in each atom.
B
atomic mass of each atom.
C
bond length of each atom.
D
ionization energy of each atom.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Determine the total number of valence electrons to be depicted in the Lewis diagram. Place least electronegative element in center and draw single bonds from the central atom to other atoms. Determine how many electrons must be added to the central element. More items •14-Mar-2023

Detailed explanation-2: -Step 1: Determine the total number of valence electrons. Step 2: Write the skeleton structure of the molecule. Step 3: Use two valence electrons to form each bond in the skeleton structure. Step 4: Try to satisfy the octets of the atoms by distributing the remaining valence electrons as nonbonding electrons.
