oxygen with a hydrogen: O-H is also considered terminal.

(are you left with an odd number of electrons?
if so is it possible you forgot to add the charge?)

| do you have the necessary number of electrons to form an 8et on this atom, or a partial number of electrons to add and get closer to an 8et? |

use the number of electrons necessary to form the 8et on
that terminal atom (or whatever number of electrons
were available to get closer to an 8et) oxygen with a hydrogen: O-H is also considered terminal. (handle only one atom at a time) |

remove the number of electrons used from T (are you left with an odd number of electrons? if so is it possible you forgot to add the charge?) |
