Why are Lewis dot structures useful? Group of answer choicesThey represent the number of neutronsThey show atomic massesThey display valence electronsThey depict the entire atomic structure

Lewis dot structures are useful because they display valence electrons. These structures are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. By representing valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, Lewis dot structures help predict the chemical behavior of elements and how they might interact with other elements. They do not represent the number of neutrons, show atomic masses, or depict the entire atomic structure.
