Answer: The boron atom of BBr_3 has three hybrid orbitals

Explanation: Hybridization of the molecule can be calculated by:

Hyb=\frac{1}{2}(V+H-C+A)     .....(1)

where,

V =  number of valence electrons in the central metal atom

H = number of monovalent atoms

C = cationic charge

A = anionic charge

Here, electronic configuration of B = 1s^22s^22p^1

Number of valence electrons = 3

Number of monovalent atoms = 3

Cationic charge = 0

Anionic charge = 0

Putting these values in equation 1, we get

Hyb=\frac{1}{2}(3+3-0+0)=3

As the Hybridization is 3, which means that boron has 3 hybrid orbitals.

Draw the lewis structure of ch3nc; fill in any nonbonding electrons. Calculate the formal charge on each atom other than hydroge
jenyasd209 [6]

A visual representation of covalent bonding which represents the valence shell electrons in the molecule is said to be a Lewis structure. The lines represents the shared electron pairs and dots represents the electrons that are not involved in the bonding i.e lone pairs.

Number of valence electrons in each atom:

For Carbon, C = 4

For Hydrogen, H = 1

For Nitrogen, N = 5

The Lewis structure of CH_3NC is shown in the attached image.

The formula of calculating formula charge = FC = VE - NE- \frac{BE}{2}   -(1)

where, F.C is formal charge, V.E is number of valence electrons, N.E is number of non-bonding electrons and B.E is number of bonding electrons.

Now, calculating the formal charge:

For C on left side:

FC = 4 - 0- \frac{8}{2} = 0

For N:

FC = 5 - 0- \frac{8}{2} = +1

For C on right side:

FC = 4 - 2- \frac{6}{2} = -1

The formula charge of each atom other than hydrogen is shown in the attached image.
