Answer:

The lewis structure is shown in the figure.

Explanation:

In order to write lewis structure we will fist count the total valence electrons in the molecule.

Valence electrons of carbon = 4

Valence electrons of chlorine = 7x3 = 21

Valence electrons of hydrogen  = 1

total = 26

Let us give two electrons between carbon and each of chlorine

Also give two electrons between carbon and hydrogen

total electrons left = 26-8 = 18

These eighteen electrons will be distributed over three chlorine atoms as lone pair of electrons (three pairs on each chlorine).

Thus the structure will be as shown in image.
