    The steps involved in the electron-dot structure of given molecule are:

    Step 1 : First we have to determine the total number of valence electron in a molecule.

    Step 2 : Draw the skeleton of the molecule.

    Step 3 : Placing a bonding pair of electrons between the atoms to form the chemical bonds.

    Step 4 : The rest of the electrons are used as a lone pair for central or terminal atoms to achieve an octet to finish the electron-dot structure.

    All the electron-dot diagram of given molecule is shown below.
