Answer:
The IUPAC structure only shows bond pairs and lone pairs. In the flouromethane structure above, there is only one bond pair and three lone pairs of electrons. Therefore there is one electron remaining, but since it doesn't not make up a pair, it is ignored in the structure but theoretically it is present.
It is easier to determine this if we draw the structural formula of lactic acid as shown in the attached picture. There are three functional groups in lactic acid: carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, and the parent alkane chain. Any of the hydrogens in the alkane chain is the least acidic. Then, it is followed by the H in the hydroxyl group. The most acidic is the H in the carboxyl group.
