Carbon should be the central atom sharing two electrons with H, F, Cl, and another Cl.
(ignore the >, they were used simply to keep the correct structure as spaces disappear once an answer is saved and the dot structure would appear incorrect)
each pair of dots represents 2 unshared electrons
the - between the atoms represents 2 shared electrons
Cl has 7 electrons in its valence shell, as does F
C has 4
H has 1
4+(7*3)+1=26
this gives a total of 26 electrons that should be represented in the Lewis dot structure.
in a correct Lewis Dot structure, each atom should have 8 electrons around it, save for H, of course, as this one does.

Can you draw the Lewis structure for a nitric oxide ion?
The Lewis structure for a nitric oxide ion (NO) has a nitrogen atom in the center with a single bond to an oxygen atom and a positive charge on the nitrogen atom.
Can you draw the Lewis structure for NH3?
The Lewis structure for NH3 shows nitrogen in the center with three hydrogen atoms bonded around it. Each hydrogen atom is connected to the nitrogen atom by a single bond.
Is PH3 a Lewis acid or base?
It is a lewis base because of its lone pair of electrons that can be "donated". If you draw/look at the lewis structure it is much easier to tell. Especially when the formula is not that of an ion!
How can one draw a Lewis dot structure for an element?
To draw a Lewis dot structure for an element, first determine the total number of valence electrons for that element. Then, place the electrons around the element symbol in pairs, with no more than two electrons in each pair. Remember to follow the octet rule, which states that most elements strive to have eight electrons in their outer shell.
What is the Lewis structure for calcium nitride?
The Lewis structure for calcium nitride (Ca3N2) consists of one calcium atom with two nitrogen atoms bonded to it. The calcium atom donates two electrons to each nitrogen atom, forming ionic bonds. The calcium atom has a 2+ charge, while each nitrogen atom has a 3- charge.
What does the Lewis dot structure for sodium look like?
Will this link help you?, it is quite impossible to draw a Lewis dot structure in this simple text editor. See related links.
How do you draw a Lewis structure for Be2 plus?
To draw a Lewis structure for Be2+, start by writing the symbol for beryllium. Since Be2+ has a 2+ charge, it has lost two electrons. Place the two electrons as individual dots around the beryllium symbol, as there is no other atom bonded to it. The Lewis structure for Be2+ is simply Be with two dots around it.
Can you draw the Lewis structure for a nitric oxide ion?
The Lewis structure for a nitric oxide ion (NO) has a nitrogen atom in the center with a single bond to an oxygen atom and a positive charge on the nitrogen atom.
Is NH3 a resonance structure?
No, NH3 is not a resonance structure. Resonance occurs when it is possible to draw multiple valid Lewis structures for a molecule, but for NH3, there is only one correct Lewis structure based on the arrangement of the atoms and the octet rule.
Can you draw the Lewis structure for NH3?
The Lewis structure for NH3 shows nitrogen in the center with three hydrogen atoms bonded around it. Each hydrogen atom is connected to the nitrogen atom by a single bond.
Lewis structure for NaCl?
This website is sooooooooooo slow never has answers
When you draw the Lewis structure for Cl how many odd electrons are there in this atom?
Cl has 7 electrons. If you draw Cl^-, there are 8 electrons and a minus 1 charge. What do you want to draw? And what do you mean by "odd" electrons?
What atomic particle is used to draw a Lewis Structure of either a molecule or atom?
Valence electrons are used to draw Lewis structures of molecules and atoms. These electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom that participate in bonding.
What do you use to draw a Lewis structure of either molecule or atom?
To draw a Lewis structure of a molecule or atom, you would typically use symbols to represent the atoms and lines to represent the bonds between atoms. The number of valence electrons for each atom is also considered to determine how the atoms are connected in the structure. Additionally, lone pairs of electrons on atoms are shown to complete their octets and achieve stability.
How do you draw the Lewis structure for an acetate ion?
I uploaded a jpg of the acetate ion Lewis structure to imageshack. Just click the "related link" below and you should see it. Many people draw Lewis Structures with minor variations, but this should give you the basic idea.
How many electron must be shown for the lewi dot structure of formaldehyde?
The answer is 12. If you draw the lewis dot structure for formaldehyde, you have to remember to draw the non-bonding pairs on the oxygen atom, and when you count all the electrons, remember that the lines used to represent bonds are counted as 2.
Is PH3 a Lewis acid or base?
It is a lewis base because of its lone pair of electrons that can be "donated". If you draw/look at the lewis structure it is much easier to tell. Especially when the formula is not that of an ion!
