ANSWER:Step 1 of 7
Lewis Structures
The structures used to describe the bonding in a chemical compound are named the Lewis structures.
The Lewis structures are drawn considering the valence electrons are of the atom,
The electrons are arranged in a manner that the atom attains stability.
Represent bonds between the atoms considering their valency.
The electrons are represented using dots and a pair of electrons placed between two atoms represents a bond.
