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.
Answer:
The symbol for an atom indicates the element via its usual two letter symbol, the mass number as a left superscript, the atomic number as a left subscript (sometimes omitted), and the charge as a right superscript.

I hope that helps!! sorry if it dont!
Answer:
1. combustion
2. decomposition
3. decomposition
4. combination
5. decomposition
6. decomposition
Explanation:
combination of a reaction is when 2 more or elements/ compounds combine to form a compound. example: (A+B→AB)
decomposition of a reaction is when a chemical breakdown. example: (AB→A+B)
a combustion reaction is when an element/ compound reacts with oxygen to form the product of water and carbon dioxide.
example: (
+
→
O +
