Correct answer: number of valence electrons in each atom.
Reason: Lewis structures represent the valence electrons as bonds and lone pairs, so you must know how many valence electrons are present (including adjustments for any charge). Ionization energy, bond length and atomic mass are not required to place electrons and bonds in a Lewis structure.
