KingPizza · Answer

a Lewis structure is based on how many valence electrons each element has. Dots and lines next to an element symbol represent their valence electrons..,How many valence electrons do you think Hydrogen has?

KingPizza · Answer

if we know that much, we could eliminate at least two choices

KingPizza · Answer

yes, hydrogen needs only 1 valence electron for a shell, and oxygen needs six, so the choice that has 1 line or dot next to  all of the H,'s and 6 dots or lines (or a mixture)next to all of the oxygens would be correct, so what choice is that?
