Expert Solution
Step 1 Analysis

Given: some compounds are given 

To find: Draw there Lewis structures and also to find which can act as Lewis base. 

Solution: Lewis structures are also known as electron dot structure. 

Lewis structures is drawn by the help of valence electrons in its outermost shell. 

According to Lewis acid base theory Lewis acid are those which can accept electrons and Lewis base are those which can donate electrons.

Electron pair means it consists of 2 electrons.
