Just look up how many number of valence electrons your atom has, and then do your atoms atomic symbol and put the number of dots around it. For example, this is the Lewis Dot Diagram for Silver:

Ag.

No. BF is a molecule, not a single atom. B has three valence electrons, and F has seven, bringing the total to 10. The only way to do this is to connect B to F with a triple bond. Also, both the B and the F will have one lone pair of electrons. I don't know if you need to know the charge, but B has a 2- charge, and F has a 2+ charge.

The end result would look something like this..

:B2- =- F:2+

(The "=-" was the only way I could think to represent the triple bond. Normally it would just be three lines on top of each other.)
