Carbon likes to form 4 bonds because it has four valence electrons (e-). Besides the carbon atom, there are four other atoms: 3 Fluorine atoms and 1 chlorine atom. So you start by writing C for carbon in the middle, then distribute the other four atoms around it. Draw a line to each outer atom from the central carbon atom. From here it's pretty simple. Both fluorine and chlorine have seven valence electrons (Periodic Table group 7,hello!) so they just need to have one of their valence e- to bond with one atom to "feel complete." So basically you just draw your six remaining Lewis dots around each of the three fluorine atoms and the chlorine atom and you're done.

The Lewis dot structure for germanium (Ge) is: Ge: :Ge:
The Lewis structure of the compound CCLO is as follows: CCCl-O.
The formal charge of the NCO Lewis structure is zero.
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.

The molecular geometry of the BR3 Lewis structure is trigonal planar.
The Lewis structure was created by American chemist Gilbert N. Lewis in 1916. Lewis proposed using dots to represent the valence electrons of an atom in order to show how atoms bond together in molecules.
Sulfur can form a maximum of six bonds in a Lewis structure.
The bond angle in the CHCl3 Lewis structure is approximately 109.5 degrees.
