Put the carbon in the middle and attach the hydrogen and all of the chlorine atoms to the carbon. Put three non-bonding pairs on each chlorine atom.

1 bond between the carbon and each of the hydrogens, with a lone electron (dot) on the carbon. Forms sp3 hybridized orbitals, and molecule is pyramidal shaped.

The orbital geometry is a tetrahedral. However, because of the lone electron (dot) on the carbon, the molecular shape is trigonal pyramidal.

The Lewis structure of CH3O- ( the methoxide ion) should be as follows: A C atom is placed in the middle, single bonded to three H atoms. The C atom is also single bonded to an O atom which has a full complement of 8 electrons. The O atom has a -1 formal charge.

the C forms 3 bonds with the 3 H's then the last with O and O's second bond is with the last hydrogen
