Lewis structure

Draw the Lewis structure of fluoromethane. Start by drawing the overall structure of the molecule:  Count the total valence electrons of the carbon (n_C, val = 4), fluorine (n_F, val = 7), and hydrogen (n_H, val = 1) atoms: n_C, val + n_F, val + 3 n_H, val = 14 Calculate the number of electrons needed to completely fill the valence shells for carbon (n_C, full = 8), fluorine (n_F, full = 8), and hydrogen (n_H, full = 2): n_C, full + n_F, full + 3 n_H, full = 22 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 22 - 14 = 8 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so the above diagram has all the necessary bonds. There are 4 bonds and hence 8 bonding electrons in the diagram. Lastly, fill in the remaining unbonded electrons on each atom. In total, there remain 14 - 8 = 6 electrons left to draw: Answer: |   |
