1 of 3

To solve this question, we need to follow simple rules for drawing the Lewis structures.

Do you recall how to draw the Lewis structure?

Lewis structures are drawn in three successive steps.

Step 1

  • Determine the total number of valence electrons.

Step 2

  • Draw bonds between atoms (use one pair of electrons per bond).

Step 3

  • Arrange the remaining electrons around the atoms so that each atom has a noble gas electron configuration (octet rule).
