The answer is C
Further explanation
Lewis structures have a central atom and a terminal atom
The central atom is an atom that is bound to 2 or more other atoms, while a terminal atom is bound to 1 other atom
In describing Lewis's structure the steps that can be taken are:
1. Count the number of valence electrons from atoms in a molecule
2. Give each bond with a pair of electrons
3. The remaining electrons are given to the terminal atom so that an octet is reached
4. The remaining electrons that still exist in the central atom
5. If the central atom is not yet octet, free electrons are drawn to the central atom to form double bonds
Nitrogen -N : valence electron : 5 , need 3 electron for stable⇒central atom
Chlorine-Cl : valence electron : 7, need 1 electron for stable⇒terminal atom
So that N will bind 3 Cl atoms to get stability (using electrons together with covalent bonds), so that there is 1 lone pair in N atoms and 3 lone pairs from each Cl atom (a total of 10 lone pairs of electrons)
