Answer :
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule. The electrons are represented by dot.
The given molecule is, perbromate ion.
Bromine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electron.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in perbromate ion,
= 7 + 4(6) + 1 = 32
According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 14 number of bonding electrons and 18 number of non-bonding electrons.
Formula for formal charge :

The Lewis-dot structure of perbromate ion is shown below.
Answer:
The method used for measuring the small distance is by using the scales and the distance measured over long distance is by inch tape or measuring tape.
