QUESTION:

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. The simplest amino acid is glycine \(\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{NCH}_{2} \mathrm{COOH}\right)\). Draw a Lewis structure for glycine. (Hint: the central atoms in the skeletal structure are nitrogen bonded to carbon, which is bonded to another carbon. The two oxygen atoms are bonded directly to the rightmost carbon atom.)
