To create the Lewis structure we need to take into account the octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.
C belongs to Group 4A in the periodic table so it has 4 valence electrons. It needs to share 4 pairs of electrons to complete the octet.
F belongs to Group 7A in the periodic table so it has 7 valence electrons. Each F needs to share 1 pair of electrons to complete the octet.
As a consequence, in CF₄, C will form a single bond with each F and all the octets will be complete.
it turns yellow to orange
Answer: animal cells have centrosome and lysosomes where plants do not and plant cells have a cell wall where animals do not.

Answer:
See attachment for mechanism.
Explanation:
The Fischer esterification reaction is a nucleophilic substitution <u>in the acyl group of a carboxylic acid, catalyzed by an acid.</u>
1) The protonation of the oxygen of the carbonyl group activates the carboxylic acid...
2) ... against a nucleophilic attack by the alcohol, and produces a tetrahedral intermediate.
3) The transference of a proton from an oxygen atom to another produces a second tetrahedral intermediate and converts the -OH into a good leaving group.
4) The loss of a proton and the expulsion of H₂O regenerates the acid catalyzer and gives an ester as a product.
