Draw the Lewis structure of these species. Show every atom, every bond, all unshared electron pairs, and write all non-zero formal charges on the atoms that require them. Assume that all atoms heavier than hydrogen have an octet of valence electrons and that all hydrogens have a duet of valence electrons.

B. CH₃CO⁺

C. NH₂N(CH₃)₂
