I really need help with this it is really hard to me and Idk what to do can you please help me 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve first three sub-parts for you. To get remaining sub-part solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved.

The following compounds are to be drawn representing their atoms with symbols and bonds with lines, so that each atom has correct number of bonds.

The number of bonds the atom can form it depends on the number of valence electrons in a specific atom and number of electrons it required to complete the octet.

H = 1s1                  = required 1 electron to complete 1s orbital, thus can form 1 bond.

O = 1s2 2s2 2p4     =  required 2 electrons to complete octet in valence shell 2, thus can form 2 bonds.

N = 1s2 2s2 2p3      =  required 3 electrons to complete octet in valence shell 2, thus can form 3 bonds.

C = 1s2 2s2 2p2       =  required 4 electrons to complete octet in valence shell 2, thus can form 4 bonds.
