ANSWER:

Step 1 of 6

Lewis structures:

The bonding in the molecule can be understood by its structures, which involves the distribution of electrons around each atom and type of bonding (single, double, triple).

Lewis structure represents the electron distribution around atoms in the molecule, it is also known as electron - dot structures which have the following features.

     - These structures take into account only valence electrons

     - This clearly shows bonding and non bonding electrons.

     - All atoms should obey the octet rule.
