Scientists use models to show the characteristics of compounds. Of the different models,ball-and-stick model and space-filling model are commonly used but similar. Ball-and- stick model shows the bond between both atom and not the relative size of the atoms. Space-filling model shows the relative size of the atom and not the bond between the atoms. Both are 3-Dimensional and use color spheres within the model.
Explanation:
Flourine has atomic number of 9 and hence 9 electrons in its neutral state. The full electronic configuration is given as;
1s2 2s2 2p5
Carbon has atomic number of 6 and hence 6 electrons in it's neutral state. The noble gas notation as the following format;
[closest noble gas before the element] remaining electrons
The nearest noble gas to carbon is Helium, the noble gas notation is given as;
[He] 2s4
