Question 9 • Chemistry

Lewis structures cannot

Answer
A
show the number of valence electrons.
B
show the strength of bonds.
C
show the location of bonds.
D
show how many bonds are present in a molecule.

Explanation

Lewis structures use lines to show where bonds are located and how many bonds connect atoms. They also show valence electrons as bonding pairs and lone pairs. A Lewis structure does not indicate how strong a bond is, so the correct choice is “show the strength of bonds.”
