Select all that are true A
The central atom of any valid Lewis electron-dot structure must have a minimum of eight valence
electrons.
B
G. N. Lewis based his electron-dot model for chemical bonding on the fact that all noble gases have
ns²npa valence configurations (except hydrogen, which is 1s2).
es?
С
For the most part, electron-dot structures show electrons in pairs, but there are exceptions.
rotons
D
One of the points in favor of acceptance of the quantum mechanical model is that it explains why
Lewis' electron dot model works so well.
E
Lewis showed valence electrons as being paired up because a maximum of two electrons can
occupy a given valence orbital.
F
Lewis used the "duet rule" and the "octet rule" in drawing his electron-dot structures. This
corresponds to the fact that in each period, the representative elements are in rows of two or eight
elements.
