Answer:
Option E!
Explanation:
If we were to draw the lewis dot structure for IBr2 -, we would first count the total number of valence electrons ( " available electrons " ). Iodine has 7 valence electrons, and so does Bromine, but as Bromine exists in 2, the total number of valence electrons would be demonstrated below;
Don't forget the negative on the Bromine!
Now go through the procedure below;
1 ) Place Iodine in the middle and draw single bonds to each of the bromine.
2 ) Add three lone pairs on each of the Bromine's
3 ) Now we have 6 electrons left, if we were to exclude the electrons shared in the " single bonds. " This can be placed as three lone pairs on Iodine ( central atom )!
The molecular geometry can't be linear, as there are lone pairs on the atoms. This makes it bent.
Answer:
hydroperoxyethane
Explanation:
tomsFor the Lewis structure we have to remember that all the atoms must have <u>8 electrons</u> (except for hydrogen). In this structure, we have three types of atoms, Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. So, we have to remember the <u>valence electrons</u> for each atom:
-) Carbon : 4 electrons
-) Hydrogen: 1 electron
-) Oxygen: 6 electrons
We can start with the "" part. We can put 3 hydrogen bond arroun the carbon. We can use this same logic with "
". Finally for oxygens, we can put it one bond with
and a bond between oxygens with a final bond with hydrogen to obtain <u>hydroperoxyethane</u>.
See figure 1 for further explanations.
