Why are Lewis dot structures more useful to explain bonding than Bohr diagrams?Lewis structures provide more detailed information about atomic structure.
Lewis structures provide more detailed information about atomic structure.

Only the valence electrons in Lewis structures are needed to understand bonding.
Only the valence electrons in Lewis structures are needed to understand bonding.

Lewis dot structures can represent a wider range of bonding types than Bohr.
Lewis dot structures can represent a wider range of bonding types than Bohr.

Bohr diagrams only illustrate the nucleus structure of an atom, not the electrons.
