$$\begin{gathered} \mathbf{a}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{ }{\mathbf{CH}}_{\mathbf{3}}{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_2\right)}_{\mathbf{4}}\mathbf{CH}{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_{\mathbf{2}} \\ \mathbf{b}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{ }{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_{\mathbf{3}}\mathbf{CCH}\left(\mathrm{OH}\right){\mathbf{CH}}_{\mathbf{2}}{\mathbf{CH}}_{\mathbf{3}} \\ \mathbf{c}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{ }{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{CHCHO} \\ \mathbf{d}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{ }{\left({\mathrm{OHCH}}_2\right)}_{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{CH}{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_2\right)}_{\mathbf{3}}\mathbf{C}{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_{\mathbf{2}}{\mathbf{CH}}_{\mathbf{2}}{\mathbf{CH}}_{\mathbf{3}} \end{gathered}$$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Answer 

                          

                                a.

                                                

                                     b.   

                                      c.    

                                    d.

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Lewis structure

The Lewis structure of a compound can be represented by showing the valence electrons of each atom.

Step 2: Construction of Lewis structure

a. Here, each carbon atom has valency four and each hydrogen atom with valency one.

                       

                                                                      Lewis structure of a

b.  The alcohol group is the functional group here, and the oxygen atom contains 2 lone pairs.

  

                                     

                                                                       Lewis structure of b

c. Carbonyl group is the functional group here, and the oxygen atoms contain two lone pairs.

                                                     

                                                                        Lewis structure of c

d. There are two hydroxyl groups present in it, and each oxygen atom contains two lone pairs.

                                         

                                                                      Lewis structure of d
