Need help finishing my lab...

I am having a hard time completing my lab. I was given 13 chemicals and have to draw the Lewis dot structure, there 3-D structures, Shape, Hybridization, bond angles, Polarity, and there Intermolecular forces. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the Shape (Linear, Trigonal planar,...) and Hybridization of the chemicals. I was told some of them have more then one shape in the bond. H2O, CH3OH, C2H5OH, CH3COOH, CH3COCH3, C6H14, NaCl, CaCO3, C10H8, C6H4OHCOOH, C6H12O6, C6H8O6, C40H56...I know it is a lot but any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I did try...I did everything I just don't really get the shape and hybridization thing...But I can figure it out I just have one more question...How do you draw a Lewis dot structure and a 3-D structure for something tat shares double bonds...I can draw one of them i don't know if its the 3-D or the Lewis dot...
