What does a Lewis dot diagram allow you to show?

AThe valence electrons in an atom
Correct Answer
BAll of the electrons in an atom
CThe valence protons in an atom
DHow an atom bonds with other atoms
Correct Answer

Solution

Lewis structures which is also known as Lewis dot structures or electron dot structures are diagrams that represent the valence electrons of atoms within a molecule. These Lewis symbols and Lewis structures help visualize the valence electrons of atoms and molecules, whether they exist as lone pairs or within bonds.
