A Draw the Lewis structure for NF3.
A step-by-step explanation of how to write the Lewis Dot Structure for NF3 (Nitrogen Trifluoride).
For the NF3 Lewis structure, calculate the total number of valence electrons for the NF3 molecule. After determining how many valence electrons there are in NF3, place them around the central atom to complete the octets. The NF3 Lewis structure has a total of 26 valence electrons.
Nitrogen (N) is the least electronegative element and goes in the center of the Lewis structure for NF3.

Step 1: In and, has lower electro negativity. We will draw the skeletal structure with the, at the centre https://i.imgur.com/O8hpdf9.png.
Step 2: The total number of valence electrons is 26, five from N atom and seven from each F atom https://i.imgur.com/ebpCVGD.png.
Step 3: subtract six electrons to account for the bonds in the skeletal structure; leaving is 20 electrons to distribute.
Step 4: Distribute the 18 electrons as their lone pairs on each F atom https://i.imgur.com/YzRAoUa.png.
Step 5: Place the 2 remaining electrons on the N atom https://i.imgur.com/VBbh4Gu.png.
Step 6: All atoms get octet, so step 6 does not apply.
