Question
### Lewis Structures and Molecular Geometry

#### Task
Draw the complete Lewis structures showing:
- All valence electrons
- All atoms
- All charges
- All resonance forms for molecules or species where appropriate

Show the best structure based on formal charge considerations. Provide the information requested.

---

#### Molecules and Information Required

- **Water (H₂O)**
  - **H-O-H Bond Angle:** 
    - Provide the bond angle in degrees.

- **Formate Ion (HCO₂⁻)**
  - **Electronic Geometry of C atom:** 
    - Describe the geometry around the carbon atom.

- **Ethanol (CH₃CH₂OH)**
  - **Electronic Geometry of O atom:** 
    - Describe the geometry around the oxygen atom.

- **Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)**
  - **Hybridization of the C atom:** 
    - Specify the hybridization state of the carbon atom.

---

Note: Ensure all Lewis structures include resonance forms where applicable and minimize formal charges to identify the most stable structure.
