The approximate Lewis structure of CH2O is this:
H
\
C==O
/
H
It is the most basic aldehyde, often referred to as formaldehyde. The bond lengths are:
C-H bond: 1.113 Angstroms
C=O bond: 1.208 Angstroms
The measured bond angles are:
HCH: 117.46 degrees
HCO: 121.27 degrees

Try to ignore the horizontal lines. I used them to keep the format of the structure.
It won't keep my format, but basically, you have the first Carbon bonded with 3 Hydrogen atoms (top, left, and bottom). The Carbon is bonded with the second Carbon (right) which is then double bonded to the Oxygen (which has two lone pairs, top and bottom). The second Carbon is attached to a hydrogen atom (below it), also.
That would be the best bet, I think. I did a lot of similar structures in my homework, but not this one specifically. I hope it's right, and I ! :)

It's hard to show...but Carbon is your central atom....it is double bonded with one oxygen, single bonded with the other, and single bonded to one Hydrogen, the remaining Hydrogen is single bonded to the oxgen, that is single bonded to the carbon.
All in all, Carbon should have no more than 4 bonds, Oxygen no more than 2, and Hydrogen can only have one.

The electron dot, or Lewis dot diagram for xenon is the symbol Xe surrounded by four pairs of dots, representing eight valence electrons. Refer to the related link for an illustration.
I had a science question that asked: An electron ______ is the chemical symbol for the element surrounded by as many dots as there are electrons in its outer energy level. That is pretty much the same as yours. I put dot diagram... Meaning electron dot diagram
"The electron dot diagram is used by scientists to represent electron sharing. The chemical symbol is in the center to represent the nucleus and inner energy level. Dots surrounding the symbol represents the valence electrons." that is the electron dot Diagram.. Sorry, i cant do more than that....
The $P \dot{P}$ diagram is used to follow the lives of pulsars, playing a role similar to the HR diagram for ordinary stars. It encodes a large amount of information about the pulsar population and its properties. Using the parameters, one can estimate the pulsar age, magnetic field and spin down power. [See Link] From:- The Handbook of Pulsar Astronomy
The elements that have 5 electrons in the dot diagram means that they have 5 valence electrons. These elements are found in group 5A. Elements include, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth.
