Concept introduction:
Valence bond theory:
According to valence bond theory to form a chemical bond between two atoms overlapping of half-filled valence atomic orbitals of each atom containing one unpaired electron take place forming hybrid orbitals.
Whereas, Lewis structures are diagrams that represent the chemical bonding of covalently bonded molecules and coordination compounds. It is also known as Lewis dot structures which represent the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule
