Lewis structure of boron trifluoride
Each pair of dots represents a pair of electrons. When placed between two atoms, the electrons are in a bond. A bond can be drawn as a line between two atoms, which also indicates two electrons. Notice that the central boron atom has only 6 electrons in the final Lewis diagram/structure of this molecule.
