Lewis structure

Draw the Lewis structure of acetyl fluoride. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule, ignoring potential double and triple bonds:  Count the total valence electrons of the carbon (n_C, val = 4), fluorine (n_F, val = 7), hydrogen (n_H, val = 1), and oxygen (n_O, val = 6) atoms: 2 n_C, val + n_F, val + 3 n_H, val + n_O, val = 24 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for carbon (n_C, full = 8), fluorine (n_F, full = 8), hydrogen (n_H, full = 2), and oxygen (n_O, full = 8): 2 n_C, full + n_F, full + 3 n_H, full + n_O, full = 38 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 38 - 24 = 14 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so in addition to the 6 bonds already present in the diagram add 1 bond. To minimize formal charge oxygen wants 2 bonds and carbon wants 4 bonds. Identify the atoms that want additional bonds and the number of electrons remaining on each atom:  Fill in the 1 bond by pairing electrons between adjacent highlighted atoms: Answer: |   |
