Enter your answer in the provided box. To draw a Lewis structure, first add the number of outer (valence) electrons contributed
1 answer:
Answer:
14 is this value for a molecule of .
Explanation:
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.
In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.
Number of total outer valence electrons is carbon = 4
Number of total outer valence electrons is hydrogen = 1
Number of total outer valence electrons is chlorine = 7
For total number of outer electrons is

Answer:
Explanation:
BrCl₃ is an interhalogen compound with a hybridization of sp³d. The approximate bond angles can be predicted from the structure (attached below). Although, the lewis structure might be predicted to be trigonal bipyramidal from the structure, it is however a T-shaped geometry because of it's two lone pairs.
Also, from the structure attached, it can be predicted that the approximate bond angles about the central atom is 120° (360 ÷ 3) since each of the three chlorine atoms is equally spaced about the central atom.
