Answer:
See the images below
Step-by-step explanation:
To draw a dot diagram of an atom, you locate the element in the Periodic Table and figure out how many valence electrons it has. Then you distribute the electrons as dots around the atom,
a. Silicon.
Si is in Group 14, so it has four valence electrons.
b. Xenon
Xenon is in Group 18, so it has eight valence electrons. We group them as four pairs around the xenon atom.
c. Calcium
Calcium is in Group 2, so it has two valence electrons. They are in a single subshell, so we write them as a pair on the calcium atom.
d. Water
Oxygen is in Group 16, so it has six valence electrons. The hydrogen atoms each contribute one electron, so there are eight valence electrons.
Chemists often use a dash to represent a pair of electrons in a bond.

Answer:
Compound A: Benzoyl chloride
Compound B: Benzaldehyde - (tBuO)₃Al complex
Compound C: Benzaldehyde
Compound D: Benzyl alcohol
Explanation:
The lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride that the first student used is a milder reagent than LAH and will stop reacting at the aldehyde.
The LAH that the second student used is much more reactive and will continue to reduce the benzoic acid as far as possible, going all the way to the alcohol.
See the attachment for the reaction steps.
