Lewis Structures Are Models for Predicting Molecular Structure, Not Electronic Structure

This article argues against a close relationship between Lewis dot structures and electron structure obtained from quantum mechanical calculations. Lewis structures are a powerful tool for structure prediction, though they are classical models of bonding and do not predict electronic structure. The...
