Question

Use the notes on the green page to help.  Use CER, Claim-answer to the question, reasoning-why its drawn correctly, evidence- to show why the others are incorrect. Answer completely.

Correctly drawn Lewis structures always show:
Lines to represent 2 shared electrons
(a pair)
8 total electrons "claimed by" all atoms except
hydrogen
A total number of electrons = the total number of
valence from all included atoms
CARBON or THE MOST ELECTRON LOVING ATOM
at the center.
