    This is what the lewis structure looks like

    so Each carbon atom has 4 unpaired electrons available for bonding.

    Each of the 3 chlorine atoms has a single unpaired electron available for bonding.

    The hydrogen has a single electron available for bonding.

    This results in carbon forming 4 single covalent bonds.

    The systematic name is trichloromethane.
