Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Limitation of Lewis concept: -This fails to explain the cause of covalent bond formation and the nature of attractive force between the adjacent atoms in molecules likeH2,Cl2. -Fails to explain the geometry of a molecule. -It could not explain the release of energy during formation of covalent bonds.
