Lewis structures do not show the actual shape of a
compound or element; they simply show the number of valance electrons and the central
atom. While it does not give you the structure immediately, it is a good starting point.
In order to get the structure of the atom, you would need to look into VESPER (valance
shell electron repulsion) theory.
