Ccl3f Lewis Structure
What is the Lewis structure of CCl3F (trichlorofluorane)? 3
I'm generally good with Lewis architecture, but it's a little out of my reach.
I think ... make carbon the central atom and let carbon form 4 bonds (3 with chlorine and 1 with fluorine). Since you know that a bond represents a common pair of electrons, you can see the structure there.
Carbon has 4 electrons in its valence and 7 in fluorine and chlorine. Carbon has 3 electrons with 3 fluorine atoms and the rest with 1 chlorine atom. Thus, the valences of all the atoms are filled.
