Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and each of the three Cl's have 7 each, or a total of 26 valence electrons to account for. Full octets on the Cl's and a lone pair on N.

The Lewis dot structure for CCl4 starts with a C in the middle. Four dashes are drawn, one on each side, each connecting to a Cl atom. On the unconnected sides of the Cl atoms, there are two dots, six in total on each atom.
The dot structure for boron trichloride has a single B atom in the center. There are three single dashes indicating bonds, each attached to a single Cl atom. Each Cl atom then has three pairs of dots, each pair on an unattached side.
Start with a single N atom with three single bonds to the top, right and left. Add a pair of dots on the bottom. On each bond add a Cl atom with a pair of dots on the unbonded sides.
lewis structure of Cl2O7
Lewis structure was created in 1916.
NCl3 - nitrogen trichloride
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.
1 mole NCl3 = 120.366g NCl3 = 6.022 x 1023 molecules NCl3 8.2 x 1022 molecules NCl3 x 120.366g NCl3/6.022 x 1023 molecules NCl3 = 16g NCl3 rounded to 2 significant figures

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.
Br2 > NCl3 > H2O
Potassium oxide (K2O) is an ionic compound, not a molecule, and does not have a Lewis structure.
NCl3 has four atoms.
Resonance
The maximum number of electrons in a Lewis structure is eight, which is an octet of electrons.
