Which of the following is a reason that Lewis electron dot diagrams only show electrons in the outmost orbital of an atom?

• Outer-shell electrons have less energy than inner-shell electrons.

• Lewis electron-dot diagrams would get too complicated if each atom showed all of its electrons.

• Inner-shell electrons cannot be proven to exist and thus should not be included in a Lewis electron dot structue.

• Only outer shell electrons can be involved in chemical bonds.
