<span>Draw the Lewis structure. Bromine has 3 bonds and two lone pairs for a trigonal bipyramidal electron geometry and an sp^3d hybridization. Fluorine is peripheral it does not require hybridization, but we often consider it to be hybridized too - it has 1 bond and 3 lone pairs for sp^3 hybridization. So the sigma bonds come from an overlap of an sp^3d orbital on Br with an sp^3 orbital on F. If you don't consider the F to be hybridized the overlap would have to be to a p orbital on the F</span>

Answer:
Molecular formula = C₄H₁₂O₂
Explanation:
Given data:
Percentage of hydrogen = 13.80%
Percentage of carbon = 51.02%
Percentage of oxygen = 35.18%
Molecular formula = ?
Solution:
Number of gram atoms of H = 13.80 / 1.01 = 13.6
Number of gram atoms of O = 35.18 / 16 = 2.2
Number of gram atoms of C = 51.02 / 12 = 4.25
Atomic ratio:
C : H : O
4.25/2.2 : 13.6/2.2 : 2.2/2.2
2 : 6 : 1
C : H : O = 2 : 6 : 1
Empirical formula is C₂H₆O.
Molecular formula:
Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)
n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass
Empirical formula mass = C₂H₆O = 46 g/mol
n = 88 / 46
n = 2
Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)
Molecular formula = 2 (C₂H₆O)
Molecular formula = C₄H₁₂O₂
