How does the structure of a carbon atom influence its bonding behavior?

The caffeine molecule is shown below. Indicate the electron geometry AND the molecular shape around each of the indicated atoms (six answers in total). Be aware that the angles may not be drawn correctly in this Lewis structure.

What are the best steps to follow when drawing a lewis structure? I'm getting conflicting steps when determining the central atom.Do you determine it based on electronegativity or if it's the element there's only one of?

How does the written Lewis structure for potassium chloride differ from that of hydrogen chloride?

Resonance Structures Resonance Structures are ways to represent the bonding in a molecule or ion when a single Lewis structure fails to describe accurately the actual electronic structure. 10: NO₂ Equivalent resonance structures occur when there are identical patterns of bonding within the molecule or ion. The actual structure is a composite, or resonance hybrid, of the equivalent contributing structures. Draw Lewis structures for perbromate ion and nitryl chloride. How many equivalent Lewis structures are necessary to describe the bonding in BrO4" ? [ How many equivalent Lewis structures are necessary to describe the bonding in NO₂CI?
