Title: Adding Electrons to Molecular Structures

Objective: Complete the given molecular structures by adding electrons in the form of dots, as needed.

---

### HF (Hydrogen Fluoride)

To complete the Lewis structure of HF:

1. Select appropriate drawing tools from the panel.
2. Use the element buttons 'F' for Fluorine and 'H' for Hydrogen to place the atoms.
3. Connect the hydrogen atom (H) to the fluorine atom (F) with a single bond.
4. Add electron pairs (dots) around the fluorine atom to fulfill its octet rule.

**Sample Interface Controls:**
- **Select:** Enables selection mode.
- **Draw:** Toggles between drawing single, double, and triple bonds.
- **Erase:** Allows erasing of selected elements.
- **Zoom and Pan:** For adjusting the view of the diagram.

### H₂O (Water)

To complete the Lewis structure of H₂O:

1. Select appropriate drawing tools from the panel.
2. Use the element buttons 'O' for Oxygen and 'H' for Hydrogen to place the atoms.
3. Connect the two hydrogen atoms (H) each to the oxygen atom (O) with single bonds.
4. Add electron pairs (dots) around the oxygen atom to fulfill its octet rule.

**Sample Interface Controls:**
- **Select:** Enables selection mode.
- **Draw:** Toggles between drawing single, double, and triple bonds.
- **Erase:** Allows erasing of selected elements.
- **Zoom and Pan:** For adjusting the view of the diagram.

### HNO (Nitroxyl Hydride)

To complete the Lewis structure of HNO:

1. Select appropriate drawing tools from the panel.
2. Use the element buttons 'N' for Nitrogen, 'O' for Oxygen, and 'H' for Hydrogen to place the atoms.
3. Connect the hydrogen atom (H) to the nitrogen atom (N), and the nitrogen atom (N) to the oxygen atom (O) with appropriate bonds.
4. Add electron pairs (dots) as needed around the nitrogen and oxygen atoms to fulfill the octet rule for each atom.

**Sample Interface Controls:**
- **Select:** Enables selection mode.
- **Draw:** Toggles between drawing single, double, and triple bonds.
- **Erase:** Allows erasing of selected elements.
- **Zoom and Pan:** For adjusting the view of the diagram.
