Interpretation:
The Lewis structure for the given compounds is to be stated and the molecular structure of each compound is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The Lewis structures are basically electron dot structures based on the octet rule. In these structures the lone pairs are present on the respective atoms. The bond pairs are shown between the two atoms or more. The octet is basically applicable to representative elements. According to this rule every atom tends to complete its octet either by one, two or three electrons sharing. Every atom tends to make the configuration of the nearest noble gas.
To determine: The Lewis structure and the molecular structure for
