Step 1
Determine the total number of valence electrons in the molecule. Bromine (Br) has 7 valence electrons, and since there are two bromine atoms in Br2, the total number of valence electrons is 14. Show more…

Draw the best (most probable) Lewis structure for BrO4- and determine the formal charge on bromine. For full marks show your work: (1) Draw Lewis structures for each resonance structure (only included resonance structures with either double or single Br - O bonds.) (2) Indicate all formal charges for each atom on each structure (3) Circle the Lewis structure that is most probable (4) Indicate which structures are equivalance and which are non-equivalent resonance structures
Draw the Lewis structure for the ozone (O3) molecule. Be sure to include all resonance structures that satisfy the octet rule.
