Nobody will be able to draw you a diagram here, as this is a text-only answer board. Use Google Image Search if you want to actually see the Lewis diagram for Pt.
Let’s do the Lewis structure for CH2O, methanal or formaldehyde. Start with the valence electrons. Looking at the periodic table, Carbon has 4.
Hydrogen, in group 1, has 1 and Oxygen, in group 6 or 16, has 6; but we have two Hydrogens, so let’s multiply that by 2. Let’s add them up: 4 plus 2 plus 6 equals 12 total valence electrons to work with.
Lewis dot structures are used to predict the geometry of a molecule. You will be able to draw a Lewis structure of the formaldehyde molecule after using this equation..
