Draw the Lewis structure for BrCl3. What are the approximate bond angles about the central atom?
1 answer:
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.

Explanation:
As can be seen in the Figure in a face-centered cubic unit cell you have:
- Six halves of atoms
- Eight 1/8 of atom (1 in each corner)
In total:
Now, each side of the cell is 234 picometers (2.34e-8 cm) long
