Lewis structure:
Electron dot structure also known as Lewis dot structure represents the number of valence electrons of an atom or constituent atoms bonded in a molecule. Each dot corresponds to one electron.
(a)

Explanation of Solution
The Lewis electron dot structure for given molecules are determined by first drawing the skeletal structure for the given molecules, then the total number of valence electrons for all atoms present in the molecules are determined.
The next step is to subtract the electrons present in the total number of bonds present in the skeletal structure of the molecule with the total valence electrons such that considering each bond contains two electrons with it.
Finally, the electrons which got after subtractions have to be equally distributed considering each atom contains eight electrons in its valence shell.

Concept-Introduction:
Molecular orbital (MO) theory: It is a method for determining molecular structure in which electrons are not assigned to individual bonds between atoms, but are treated as moving under the influence of the nuclei in the whole molecule.
According to this theory there are two types of orbitals,
- (1) Bonding orbitals
- (2) Antibonding orbitals
Electrons in molecules are filled in accordance with the energy; the anti-bonding orbital has more energy than the bonding orbitals.

The * represent the antibonding orbital
Orbital diagram represents each orbital with a box, with orbital’s in the same subshell in connected boxes, electrons are shown as arrows in the boxes, pointing up or down to indicate their spins.
Bond order: It is the measure of number of electron pairs shared between two atoms.
Bond length is inversely proportional to the bond order.
If two or more different chemical species having same number of valence electrons are known as isoelectronic species.
