QUESTION:
Draw Lewis structures for HCFC-123 \(\left(\mathrm{CF}_{3} \mathrm{CHCl}_{2}\right)\) and \(\mathrm{CF}_{3} \mathrm{CFH}_{2}\).
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
We need to draw Lewis structures for and .
Lewis structure is the simplified representation of valence electrons in a molecule.
HCFC-123 is mainly used as a commercial and industrial refrigerant and often as a heat-transfer fluid, foam-blowing agent, or solvent [1, 3]. It is classified as a fire extinguishing agent through cooling and dilution.
