How would I go about making a Lewis Dot Structure for Gasoline? Which, according to a quick google search is C7H17?
I just can't figure out how this works, and yet it should, shouldn't it? How can I create an electron dot diagram for it? I always find that I have an extra Hydrogen molecule off in space.
And is C7H17 actually some sort of chemical compound? Or did I mess up on the original question:
Write a Lewis Dot Diagram for a chemical compound that is 83.2% Carbon, and 16.8% Hydrogen.
According to my calculations, it is C7H17, right? Now... How do I write a Lewis Dot structure for it?
If anyone can help my out on this, It'll be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There is no such compound as C7H17, the number of H must be even in all hydrocarbons. Gasoline contains thousands of compounds and C7H17 may correspond only to the average atomic composition.
Write a Lewis Dot Diagram for a chemical compound that is 83.2% Carbon, and 16.8% Hydrogen.
This composition correspond to C26H63 exactly which does not exists either.
I suspect that there is some problem with the formulation of the question or maybe numbers are not correct.
