Create the Lewis structure of CF4. NOTE: do only the step asked for in each part and then click Check-don't work
ahead to solve the final structure.
Step 1.
Count valence electrons in the molecule or ion. Do this by adding the periodic group numbers for each atom in the
structure and adjusting for charge. Enter and Check.
Step 2.
Connect each pair of bonded atoms with a single bond by dragging bonds onto the molecule. Each bond
decreases the number of available electrons by 2. Check.
