Instructions and help about Sbfcl2 Structural Formula

welcome to electron line and here's our next example of how to draw a lewis structure in this case we're going to take a look at dichlorodifluoromethane so that sounds like it's going to be like a methane molecule but instead of the hydrogen it's going to have chlorine and fluorine atoms so let's try to figure out what this should look like well first of all here's the molecule and of the three carbon has the lowest electronegativity so we expect that to be in the center the name kind of gives it away that yeah since it's methane like like a methane like structure you expect carbon to be in the center it also has only four vanes electrons compared to fluorine and chlorine which have seven so yes carbon is the candidate to be in the center and fluorine chlorine expect them to be on the outside furthermore chlorine i mean carbon has four valence electrons fluorine has seven valence electrons and there's two of those and then chlorine also has seven valence electrons and there's two of th
