yeah im not sure how to draw it out but ill explain it, first the valence electrons C has four e-, H has 1 e-x2 so 2e-, and Cl has 7 e- x2 so 14e- and added all up together the structure has 20e-, C would be your central atom because C likes to form 4 bonds. so off of the C would be your two Cls and two Hs. that will use up 8 of the e-, the remaining 12 you will put around the two Cls (six on each). i wish i knew how to draw it but hopefully this explanation helped slightly.
(ignore the ">" without them the formatting is off because this program removes extra spaces for some reason. Hope this helps)

What is the formula mass of methylene chloride?
The formula for methylene chloride is CH2Cl2
Do XeF4 have a Lewis structure?
Yes, XeF4, or xenon tetrafluoride, has a Lewis structure.
Is ch2cl2 soluble?
It is insoluble
What is the molecular shape for CH3CL?
The molecular structure of dichloromethane, or Methylene Chloride (CH2CL2), is tetrahedral, with the hydrogen and chlorine atoms peripheral to the central carbon atom.
Is vitamin b soluble in ch2cl2?
no
Lewis structure of K2O?
Potassium oxide (K2O) is an ionic compound, not a molecule, and does not have a Lewis structure.
Does CaCO3 have a Lewis structure?
No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.
How do you draw a Lewis structure for CH2Cl2?
Place C in the center and attach 2 Cl atoms to it, and attach 2 H atoms to it. Then place 3 lone pairs of electrons around each Cl atom. That is the Lewis structure.
What is the Lewis structure for calcium nitride?
CaCO3 does not have a lewis structure because this molecule is composed of ions. (Ca+2 and CO3-2). you have to draw the lewis structure of the ions separately, as shown in the parenthesis.
NACL3 Lewis structure?
A couple problems with this question: 1. There is no such compound as NaCl3. 2. Sodium is an alkali metal and Cl is a halogen, and the two would always form the ionic compound NaCl, not a covalent compound. You cannot draw Lewis structures for ionic compounds. You can draw Lewis electron diagrams for the individual ions (Na+ and Cl-), but not a structure for the ionic compound.
The correct Lewis structure for a molecule of the compound C2H2 contains?
The correct Lewis structure for a molecule of the compound C2H2 contains an alkyne bond. This is a triple bond between two C atoms. It has a linear bond geometry and no lone pairs.
Expiain what is Lewis dot structure?
A Lewis dot structure is a 2D way of representing a 3D covalent compound. The chemical symbols are connected by lines which represent a pair of shared electrons.
Lewis dot structure for calcium phosphate?
Calcium phosphate is the chemical name for the molecular compound of the formula Ca3(PO4)2. The Lewis dot structure representing calcium phosphate is:
What is the Lewis structure of ligroin?
Ligroin, or benzine (also known as petroleum ether) is not a specific compound, but a range of hydrocarbons that result during fractional distillation of petroleum. There is no Lewis dot structure for a mixture.
What is the Lewis structure for rocket propellant?
Hydrazine is an inorganic compound of the formula N2H4. The Lewis structure for Hydrazine has two central N atoms single bonded and each bonded to two H atoms.
What is the chemical symbol for methylene chloride?
The "symbol" for a compound is properly called a chemical formula, and for methylene chloride it is CH2Cl2.
When drawing the Lewis structure for a compound of Al and Cl how many chlorine are needed?
One Al and three Cl
