Interpretation:
The wrong point in the given Lewis structures is to be stated, and the correct Lewis structure of the molecule is to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis structure is a representation of the bonding and non-bonding electron pairs present in the outermost shell of all atoms present in the molecule.
The number of bonds formed by an atom in the molecule is determined by the valence electrons pairs.

Explanation of Solution
a)
The given Lewis structure is as follows:
The electronic configurations of hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen in
Carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell and requires four electrons to complete its outermost shell of electrons, while nitrogen requires three electrons to complete its octet and hydrogen requires one electron to obtain its fully-filled electronic configuration. Therefore, the Lewis structure of
The correct Lewis structure of
Hence, the given Lewis structure of
b)
The given Lewis structure is as follows:
The electronic configurations of carbon and hydrogen in
