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.

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.
How do you draw a Lewis dot structure of AsI3?

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!
