C is the center atom then the four I sourround it. Connected with single bonds to each I. then place 6 electrons on each I. Carbon shares its 4 electrons and must take one electron from each I in order to have 8 total. So each one of its electrons bonds with an electron from each I. Iodine has a total of 7 electrons and needs to share one more w/ Carbon to get 8 and be happy. (pretend the I's are directly vertical and bonded to the C) I I----C----I::: I
