Question
Chapter 2, Problem 4CTQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation : A Lewis structure for neutral stable molecule formed by combination of one carbon atom and few numbers of F atoms needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction : A legitimate Lewis structure is an electron dot and line bond representation in which the total number of valence electrons is indicated. Number of valence electrons around hydrogen is two. Number of valence electrons around carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine atom is eight. This is called the octet rule.

O Can be used to help determine the most reasonable distribution of electrons in a molecule or ion.
O The charge that an atom in a molecule or ion would have if all atoms had the same electronegativity.
