Question
100%

Please refer to the example image to answer. You must use CER, claim-evidence-reasoning. Make sure that your answer is CLEAR and explained well.

Claim is your answer to the question. Evidence is from the image and reasoning is your explanation. 

Proper evidence for all Lewis structures include:

Most electronegative atom must be in the center.

Octet of electrons surrounding each atom.

Total number of electrons depicted equals same total number of valence electrons from each participating atom.

Make sure to refer to the example image because it shows the correct Lewis structures. The question you're answering is about the students drawing of CH20.

A student was asked to draw the Lewis structure for CH20. Is the Lewis structure the student drew below
correct?
:H:
:0:
I
H:
Why or why not? Be sure to support your claim with evidence and reasoning. Write your response in complete
sentences.

Cite evidence from the images to explain why
EACH of the other three are incorrect.
Correctly drawn Lewis structures always show:
Lines to represent 2 shared electrons
(a pair)
8 total electrons "claimed by" all atoms except
hydrogen
