protons, protons
electrons, electrons
neutrons, protons

Explanation:

In Lewis - structure formation, after forming initial bonds, valence electrons are first distributed to terminal atoms. Then, remaining electrons are placed on the central atom. Protons and neutrons are not involved in this electron - distribution process.

Answer:

Question 16: True
Question 17: C. electrons, electrons
