When drawing the Lewis structure for a molecule, after drawing the skeletal structure and distributing all of the electrons around the terminal atoms, what actions should be taken if the central atom does not have a complete octet? Select the correct answer below: Move a lone pair electrons from one or more outer atoms to the central atom. Rearrange lone pairs of electrons from the outer atom(s) to form double or triple bonds to the central atom. Rearrange lone pairs of electrons around the central atom to form double or triple bonds to an outer atom or atom(s). Add electrons to the central atom, and count how many were added so the charge of the molecule or ion can be adjusted.

After determining the total number of valence electrons, what is the next step that should be taken when drawing a Lewis structure? Select the correct answer below: Rearrange electrons of the outer atoms to make multiple bonds with the central atom. Draw a skeletal structure of the molecule or ion, arranging outer atoms symmetrically around a central atom. Place electrons on the central atom to fill its octet. Distribute the electrons as lone pairs on the outer atoms, completing an octet around each atom.
