Expert Solution
Step 1: Short note on following terms,

Covalent bond: Bond formed by sharing of electrons between the two atoms in a molecule and bonding electrons shared equally.

1) polar covalent bond

2) nonpolar covalent bond

Ionic bonds: it can be defined as the  electrostatic interaction between oppositely charged ions and there will be  complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

Lewis structure:

• Representing the covalent bonding that indicates where the valance shell electrons are in the molecule.

• Shared electrons are shown as lines and lone pair of electrons (pairs of electrons not involved in bonding) are shown as dots.

How to draw a Lewis structure:

a) First you need to find the total valence electron.

b) Now you can draw the skeleton structure using single bond, followed by assigning the remaining valence electrons.

c) If octate aren't filled make multiple bond.
