Step 4. Place remaining electrons on the central atom. If the structure is already correct, or no electrons remain, check your answer. Step 5. Examine the structure. If the central atom has less than eight valence electrons, create multiple bonds by changing a terminal atom lone pair to a second or third bond pair. Only C, N, O, P, and S commonly make multiple bonds. If the structure is already correct, check your answer.
