Question
Write the Lewis structure for(a) $\mathrm{BrF}_{5}$(b) $\mathrm{IF}_{5}$(c) $\mathrm{IBr}_{2}^{-}$
Step 1
For $\mathrm{BrF}_{5}$, bromine (Br) has 7 valence electrons and each fluorine (F) atom has 7 valence electrons. So, the total number of valence electrons is $7 + 5*7 = 42$. Show more…
