Answer 1

It is incorrect because it should have a total of eight electrons with two electrons between each H and O

Further explanation

Lewis structure shows the form of bonds that occur in the valence electrons of an element or compound

This bonding usually occurs in covalent bonds

Valence electrons are electrons used in a chemical bond

The main group elements usually have valence electron configurations in the ns and np subshells, While the transition elements in the subshells (n-1) d and ns.

Element O has 6 valence electrons

Element H has 1 valence electron

To achieve stability, the element O needs 2 more electrons which are obtained from 2 electrons from the H element, while the H element needs 1 electron to be stable

So that a covalent bond is formed
