Best Answer

The Lewis structure of CF4 starts with a single C atom in the center. On each side, a dash is drawn, connecting the C to a F atom. On each unconnected side of the F atom, two dots are drawn, for six in total on each F atom.

Sulfur has one lone pair and 4 single bonds, it ends up with 10 electrons instead of eight.
Each Flourine just makes a single bond with a Sulfur electron so each fluorine atom ends up with 8 electrons. Check out the Lewis diagram I made (the bold is paired).

Tools here don't permit drawing. Use the link and scroll down. It's there under "Rules for drawing Lewis structure" and it's number 2.
