Answer 1

Answer: The structure is draw in the attachment.

Explanation: Lewis structure is a simple representation of a molecule and represents the molecule's valence shell electrons, which are the number of electrons an atom has in its layer. This structure shows how the eletrons are arranged around the atoms and existent covalent bonds. To draw a Lewis structure, you have to (1) find the number of the valence eletrons of each atom; (2) the number of eletrons needed to complete the layer; (3) determine the bonds necessary; (4) determine the central atom, which can be the atom with the higher valence or has the least attraction to other atoms (least eletronegativity); (5) draw a squeletal structure; and (6) place the remaining eletrons around the central atom.
