Number of valence electrons in each atom.

Lewis structures are built from the valence electrons (and the total electron count including any charge). Atomic mass, bond length, and ionization energy are not required to draw the Lewis structure (they pertain to mass, geometry/energetics, or reactivity, not the basic electron-dot connectivity).
