Expert Solution
Step 1
 
Lewis Structure is a simplified way of representing the valence shell electrons in a molecule. With the help of it, the arrangement of electrons around the individual atom of molecules is shown. A line shows the bonding electrons between the atoms and 'Dot' shows no. of valance electrons on a atom.
