2. A single bond in a Lewis structure represents 2 electrons.
3. A double bond in a Lewis structure represents 2 electrons.
4. Only one valid Lewis structure may be written for a given molecule.
5. Every atom in a Lewis structure must have an octet of electrons for the structure to be valid.


i think 2 is true..

Answer 1

I think the correct answer is 2, also, although I don't agree with the wording. I would rather it say "2 electrons in a Lewis structure represents a single bond).
