Lewis structure

Draw the Lewis structure of methyltrifluorosilane. 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), hydrogen (n_H, val = 1), and silicon (n_Si, val = 4) atoms: n_C, val + 3 n_F, val + 3 n_H, val + n_Si, val = 32 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 silicon (n_Si, full = 8): n_C, full + 3 n_F, full + 3 n_H, full + n_Si, full = 46 Subtracting these two numbers shows that 46 - 32 = 14 bonding electrons are needed. Each bond has two electrons, so the above diagram has all the necessary bonds. There are 7 bonds and hence 14 bonding electrons in the diagram. Lastly, fill in the remaining unbonded electrons on each atom. In total, there remain 32 - 14 = 18 electrons left to draw: Answer: |   |
