Given information

Here we have been given a compound , and we need to draw the Lewis Structure and also we need to diffrentiate between ionic and covalent compound.

 

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

We know that for Lewis structure we should be writing down all the valance electrons for all the atoms 

we also know by electronic configuration that,

Valence electron for Hydrogen = 1

valence electrons for carbon = 4

valence electron for flourine = 7

valence electrons for oxygen = 6 

have total valence electron  1+4+7+6 = 18 electrons 

Carbon is the center atom due to the less electronegativity.
