in lewis dot structure, only the central atom in a molecule will get noble gas configuration.
- true
- false
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.
