Both H and F atoms are bonded to the central carbon atom with single bonds and it's in a box form.

Explanation: Carbon has four valence electrons, H has one valence electron and F has seven valence electrons. All elements try to complete their nearest noble gas like electron configuration.

Nearest noble gas to H is He and so it wants to complete two valence electrons. Rest of the elements try to complete eight electrons in their valence shell.

As H has one valence electron, it forms a single covalent bond to complete two electrons in its valence shell.

F has seven valence electrons and it needs one more to complete eight electrons in its valence shell and so it also makes a single covalent bond.

Carbon has four valence electrons and it needs four more electrons to complete eight electrons to its valence shell.

So, in Lewis dot structure of H_2CF_2 the carbon atom is the central atom and two H and two F atoms are bonded to it with single covalent bonds.

The molecular geometry of the molecule is tetrahedral(in box form).

Lewis structure of the molecule is attached.

In meteorology, a cloud is an aerosol consisting of a visible mass of minute liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or other particles suspended in the atmosphere of a planetary body. nephology is the science of clouds, which is undertaken in the cloud physics branch of meteorology.cirrus clouds usually describe clouds high in the atmosphere that can include wispy clouds, typically with ice crystals. variations include cirrus, cirrocumulus and cirrostratus as defined by the cloud's position in the atmosphere.layered stratus clouds have both flat tops and bases, and can appear as if they take up the whole sky, stretching from horizon to horizon. other combinations and variations include stratus, stratocumulus, nimbostratus and altostratus.cumulus clouds often pile up in multiple layers of the atmosphere, representing clouds that develop vertically. cumulus clouds often look like pillars with anvil-type tops or columns of clouds stacked vertically. variations include cumulus, cumulus-congestus, cumulonimbus and altocumulus.

cytokinesis is the splitting of a cell membrane to form 2 identical daughter cells. it's similar to mitosis as both cells have identical copies of dna and cytokinesis is a step in the mitotic cycle.
