Answer:14

explanation: For CH3F, we have a total of 14 valence electrons. Hydrogen always goes on the outside of Lewis structures. And then Carbon is less electronegative than Fluorine, so let's put the Carbon in the center and the Hydrogens on the outside there, and the Fluorine on the top. We have a total of 14 valence electrons for CH3F.
