Question

question 4 (1 point)
listen
in lewis dot structure, only the central atom in a molecule will get noble gas configuration.

  1. true
  2. false

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In Lewis dot structures, not only the central atom but also surrounding atoms (like in \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \), both H and O aim for noble gas configs; H for 2 electrons, O for 8) strive for noble gas electron configurations (duplet for H, octet for others usually). So the statement is false.

Answer:

  1. False
