Put the carbon in the middle and attach the hydrogen and all of the chlorine atoms to the carbon. Put three non-bonding pairs on each chlorine atom.
Like this:
Cl
|
Cl - C - H
|
Cl
1 bond between the carbon and each of the hydrogens, with a lone electron (dot) on the carbon. Forms sp3 hybridized orbitals, and molecule is pyramidal shaped.
The orbital geometry is a tetrahedral. However, because of the lone electron (dot) on the carbon, the molecular shape is trigonal pyramidal.
The Lewis structure of CH3O- ( the methoxide ion) should be as follows: A C atom is placed in the middle, single bonded to three H atoms. The C atom is also single bonded to an O atom which has a full complement of 8 electrons. The O atom has a -1 formal charge.
H H
| | H-C-O

the C forms 3 bonds with the 3 H's then the last with O and O's second bond is with the last hydrogen

Left to Right:
CH3. Carbon single bonded to S. S double bonded to Oxygen. S Single bonded to CH3
H .. .. H : C : O : H .. .. H Thats it

H3C-Cl
CH3Cl is polar, CH4 is not. You'll have to do your own Lewis structures, and I'm personally a little mystified as to exactly what VSEPR has to do with it (if you were comparing CH4 with NH3 instead, then you'd need VSEPR).
lewis structure of Cl2O7
Lewis structure was created in 1916.
What is Lewis Structure for the bicarbonate ion
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.

What is Lewis Structure for the bicarbonate ion
Yes, XeF4, or xenon tetrafluoride, has 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.
Methane, CH4 Methanol, CH3OH Methanal, CH2O Methyl chloride, CH3Cl
Potassium oxide (K2O) is an ionic compound, not a molecule, and does not have a Lewis structure.
No. There is no hydrogen bond in chloromethane.
Resonance
The maximum number of electrons in a Lewis structure is eight, which is an octet of electrons.
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.
