There is no classic Lewis dot diagram for C3H6. The diagram is unusual. Et first, all angles in Carbon atoms are tetrahedral. Second, the molecule C3H6 is planar. Angles between Carbon atoms are 60 degrees.Two of electrons of each Carbon atoms are bonds with two Hydrogen electrons.
3 x 2 = 6 Hydrogen atoms. Rest of two electrons of one Carbon atom are verticaly in direction to one of two Carbon atoms to made single sigma connection. This is reapited in triangle. So there is no torsion stress between all bond in molecule C3H6 as Theory predict.

The Lewis dot diagram of CH3F would show carbon as the central atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms and one fluorine atom. Carbon would have 4 dots around it, hydrogen would have 1 dot, and fluorine would have 7 dots.
First, draw the skeletal structure. The formula you gave is probably incorrect. The structure is probably C - C - N with three hydrogen atoms on the first carbon, two on the second, and two hydrogen atoms on the nitrogen atom.
Next, count up the available valence electrons. Each carbon atom contributes four electrons, the hydrogen atoms one each, and the nitrogen has five valence electrons. If the seven hydrogen atoms total is correct, then there are 4+4+7+5 = 20 electrons.
Each line (or bond) counts for two electrons. there are nine bonds, so that's 18 electrons accounted for. Only two left.
Hydrogen atoms want only two electrons, so don't give them any more. (That's also why hydrogen atoms are always terminal and form only one bond.) The carbon atoms and the nitrogen atom want eight electrons, which is the octet rule. The first carbon has four bonds and eight electrons. The second carbon has four bonds and eight electrons. The nitrogen atom has three bonds and six electrons. Give the nitrogen atom the last two electrons as a pair of dots.

CH3CH2CH3 is the formula for propane. The Lewis Dot structure starts with three C atoms singly bonded in a chain. On each unbonded side, every C atom gets one singly bonded H atom.
The Lewis structure for ethane starts with two C atoms singly bonded in the center. On each unbonded side, there is one singly bonded H atom.

An electron dot diagram, also known as Lewis dot diagram, uses dots to represent the valence electrons of an atom.
The system used to represent the valence electrons around the chemical symbol of an element is called the Lewis electron dot structure or simply Lewis structure. In this system, dots are placed around the chemical symbol to represent the valence electrons of the element.
Dot diagrams, also known as Lewis dot structures, were introduced by the American chemist Gilbert N. Lewis. Lewis developed these diagrams to illustrate the bonding between atoms in a molecule by representing the valence electrons as dots around the atomic symbols.
The Lewis dot diagram for oxygen (O) consists of two dots, representing the 2 valence electrons it has in its outer shell. The dots are placed on opposing sides of the element's symbol.
The Lewis dot diagram for SO2 shows sulfur in the center with two oxygen atoms attached, each with two pairs of electrons around them. The sulfur atom has one pair of electrons and one lone electron.
