How to draw a Lewis structure for HO?
Solution

In order to draw a Lewis structure of HO, first we will count the total number of valence electrons, which is 14 (2 from H atoms and 12 from O atoms).
We will put two O atoms in the center of the structure and two H atoms will go on the sides of O atoms (because H atoms generally go on the side when drawing a Lewis structure).
In order to satisfy the octet rule for each of the atoms present in the structure, the final Lewis structure will be as following:
