This is incorrect. Hydrogen my only have two electrons to fill it's outer shell. Where as Oxygen and Chlorine prefer eight electrons. The formating on this program does not allow lewis dot structures to be drawn correctly. However the answer is H:O:Cl with another pair of electrons above and below oxygen and again above and below Cl. (like above except with out the ~'s)
Similar to methane where we have a central carbon atom bonded to four individual hydrogen atoms (four pairs of electrons), replace two of the hydrogen atoms with chlorine atoms. The compound you have is dichloromethane, aka methylene chloride.
The Lewis Dot Structures, or Electron Dot Diagrams, for hydrogen and chlorine are:
H•
••
••Cl••
••
To figure out the Lewis dot structure, look at the valence electrons. These are electrons in the outermost shell.
1. Figure out the group it is in at the Periodic Table or figure out its configuration electron.. *v=valence electrons
Alkali Metals+Hydrogen: 1v*
Alkaline Earth Metals: 2v
Groups 3-5, 7-10, 12: 2v
Groups 6 and 11: 1v
Group 13: 3v
Group 14: 4v
Group 15: 5v
Group 16: 6v
Group 17: 7v
Group 18: 8v
Chlorine: Group 17, Halogens: 7 valence electrons
Electron Configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5
Shell Electrons: 2, 8, 7 Hydrogen: Group 1, Alkali Metal Gas: 1 valence electron
Electron Configuration: 1s1
Shell Electrons: 1
2. The valence electrons are the number of dots you draw around the chemical symbol, in this case, chlorine and hydrogen, or Cl and H.
So, the symbol is 7 dots around Cl.
So, the symbol is 1 dot around H.
When finished, the H will have H:, showing the two electrons it shares with Cl.
The chlorine will be boxed in with 8 e-. Two in between H Cl and six on the other three sides.

The Lewis structure for HCl is a singly bonded H atom and Cl atom. On the Cl atom there is one pair of dots on each unbonded side.
Hypochlorous acid, of HClO has a Lewis dot structure of single bonds between its hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl) and oxygen (O) atoms. The Lewis structure for HClO is: .. ..H:O:Cl: .. ..
you would have the Cl valence electrons full with the H right next to it.

The difference between the Lewis dot structure and the structural formula is that the formula only shows the bonds that have formed whereas the dot structure shows all the valence electrons, including lone pairs, in that molecule.

No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.

The Lewis dot structure of elemental (biatomic) oxygen (O) have three of its sides surrounded by valence electrons. The Lewis dot would be 3 of these individual O2 structures: .. .. :O::O: .. ..
The Lewis dot structure is a diagram to show the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and pairs of electrons that may exist. The Lewis dot structure for chromium is Cr with two dots on top and bottom, and four dots on both sides.
Will this link help you?, it is quite impossible to draw a Lewis dot structure in this simple text editor. See related links.
