Please draw Lewis dot structures and assign formal charges for the compounds below.

The video is an overview of how to draw Lewis dot diagrams, if you need it.

Draw a lewis dot structures for the following compounds. Please assign formal charges and record them in the short answer boxes below. Please include the sign (+ or -) before the number, followed immediately by the charge number (no spaces). For example: +3 instead of + 3 or 3+.
