A central atom in a molecule is the one with the highest electron affinity.

2

Hydrogen can be a central atom.

2

The number of bonding pairs in a molecule is equal to the number of electrons.

2

To find the total number of electrons available for bonding in a positive ion, you should add the ion charge to the total number of valence electrons of the atoms present.

2

The electrons in a coordinate covalent bond are donated by both the bonded atoms.

2

Resonance occurs when more than one valid Lewis structure can be written for a molecule.

2

All resonance structures have at least one double bond.

2

Ozone is an example of a molecule that forms a resonance structure.
