Question

Which is the first step in creating a Lewis dot structure for a molecule?

Connect each outer atom to the central atom

Place remaining electrons as lone pairs on the central atom

Determine the total number of valence electrons available from all atoms

Share lone pairs of electrons to complete the octet of every atom

Answer 1

I mean this isn't something I would agree with, but you would need to consider the number of valence electrons of each atom before drawing the Lewis structure. There's more than one way to write these without this step, but for the sake of the question this should be correct.
