Given information
The given molecule is .
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Lewis structure is the structure of any chemical compound that represents all the bonding and nonbonding valence electrons of the bonded atoms. Here the covalent bonds are represented by lines and the electron pairs can be represented by dots or crosses. That is the reason the Lewis structure is also called an electron dots structure.
To draw the Lewis structure of any organic compound, check the valence electrons of each bonded atom and then draw these valence electrons in such a way that each atom except hydrogen must get the octet configuration.
