The lithium metal has a body-centered cubic structure when it crystallizes. What is the illustration of its unit cell? Is it possible to draw an electron-dot structure showing the bond between the central atom and its nearest neighboring atom?

The unit cell of the lithium metal is shown in the image. It is not possible to draw an electron-dot structure because valence electrons cannot be localized between the electron-pair bond between the central atom and its nearest neighboring atom.
