F3- does not form a Lewis structure because F (Fluorine) has 7 valance electrons. F3 totals 21 valance electrons +1 for the - charge for a total of 22. However when you attempt to bond 3 F atoms together in a Lewis structure there is only space for 20 valance electrons. This is not a problem for atoms like Br or I because they can fit those extra electrons in the near by d orbital. Fluorine being a period 2 element does not have a d orbital and can not form a F3- Lewis structure.

What is the best Lewis structure of CO in its best resonance form?
yes
What is the Lewis Structure of Cl2O7?
lewis structure of Cl2O7
When was Lewis structure created?
Lewis structure was created in 1916.
What is the Lewis dot structure of bicarbonate ion?
What is Lewis Structure for the bicarbonate ion
Is OF2 Lewis acid?
The Lewis structure for OF2 is:.. .. ..:F-O-F:'' '' ''We know that this is the best structure because the formal charge on each atom is 0, and the overall charge of the molecule is 0. Even without formal charge calculations we can predict this structure because we know that Halogens, such as Fluorine, never form double bonds.
What is the resonance form?
resonance forms are individual lewis structure in cases where two or more lewis structure are equally good descriptions of a single molecule .

Does CaCO3 have 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.
What is the Lewis dot structure for sodium borohydride?
This is an ionic compound. Sodium is positively charged and is paired with the negatively charged BH4 molecule, which, in Lewis dot structure form, comprises a boron atom connected to four H atoms.
