What do Lewis structures show?

Question 7 options:

only electrons that are unavailable for bonding

all but the valence electrons

only valence electrons

all electrons

Hello there!

The correct answer is option D

The valence electrons are the numbers from 1 to 8.

Best of luck!

Lewis structures only show the valence electrons of an atom in a molecule. Valence electrons exist in the energy level farthest away from the nucleus of an atom. Lewis structures are diagrams showing bonding of atoms with lines, and valence electrons with dots.
