    CF₂O

    Explanation:

    To determine how the molecule will be made think about the valence number of each element in molecule:

    F = - 1, O = - 2, C = + 4

    because the C is positive atom it will be the central atom with a double bond to the O and a single bond to each F.

    this way all atoms completed the octet and stability
