(a)
Interpretation: The Lewis structures for the given molecules should be drawn.
Concept Introduction: Lewis structures are diagrams that represent the
It is also known as Lewis dot structures which represents the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
Dots represent the electron position around the atoms and lines or dot pairs represent covalent bonds between atoms.
The Lewis structure is based on the concept of the octet rule so that the electrons shared in each atom should have 8 electrons in its outer shell.

Interpretation: The Lewis structures for the given molecules should be drawn.
Concept Introduction: Lewis structures are diagrams that represent the chemical bonding of covalently bonded molecules and coordination compounds.
