Question

When covalent compounds, such as water (H₂O),
form covalent bonds, they share valence electrons. A
Lewis dot structure or electron dot structure is a
drawing that represents chemical bonds between
atoms as shared or transferred electrons, where the
valence electrons are represented as dots. For
example, notice the Lewis structure of NC13 (Figure
1). When a pair of electrons is shared between two
atoms, a line is drawn to indicate a bond.
For neutral molecules, which statements about covalent Lewis structures are true?
