Answer:

The chemical formula is
CF_2O

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how the molecule will be conformed you need to have in mind the valence number of each element present:

Now, as the only one positive, the C will be the central atom with a doble bond to the O and a single bond to each F.

In that way all atoms completed the octet and achive stability
