Expert Solution

Step 1

Lewis structure represents the systematic arrangement of atoms around the central atom. Electrons in this structure are indicated by dots. The central atom is the least electronegative element in a molecule.

Step 2

The given molecule is H₂. The H atom has 1 valence electron. Calculate the total number of valence electrons in H₂.

$\begin{array}{rcl} Number of valence electrons & = & 2 \times 1 \\ = & 2 \end{array}$

The total number of valence electrons in H₂ is 2. The number of valence electron pairs is half of the total number of valence electrons. Therefore, the number of valence electron pairs in H₂is 1, which is 2/2.

Draw the Lewis dot structure of H₂ by assigning 1 valence electron pair between two H atoms.
