Which of the following supports why Lewis structures are not a completely accurate way to draw molecules?

A) The Lewis structure for O when liquid O

2

2 shows all electrons as paired but is poured onto a magnet, it behaves as a molecule with an unpaired electron.

B) There are sometimes multiple valid Lewis structures for a single chemical species.

C) When adding up the number of valence electrons for a molecule (such as nitrogen monoxide), it is possible to get an odd number which would make it impossible to satisfy the octet rule for all atoms.

D) All of the above statements support why Lewis structures are not a completely accurate way to draw molecules.

E) Lewis structures are the most accurate way to draw molecules and are completely correct.
