In this problem, our task is to present Lewis structures of a given compound. We should present all resonance forms and formal charges.

We have to pay attention to the valence electrons of atoms and electron pairs that are formed in a given compound. In this way, we have to take care of the charge of atoms.

Each atom, except H, tend to reach the octet rule - to be surrounded with 8 electrons.
