Answer:- There are 32 valence electrons and it's tetrahedral in shape.
Explanations:- Atomic number of carbon is 6 and it's electron configuration is . It has 4 electrons in the outer most shell means it has 4 valence electrons.
Atomic number of Br is 35 and it's electron configuration is . It has 7 electrons in the outer most shell(2 in 4s and 5 in 4p) .
There is one C and four Br in the given compound. So, total number of valence electrons = 4+4(7) = 4+28 = 32
Four Br atoms are bonded to the central carbon atom and also there isn't any lone pair present on carbon. It makes it tetrahedral.

Explanation:
From the question, one can work out which states of matter to assign to which species. The trick with organic equations of this nature is to try to balance everything but oxygen first. Make sure you balance oxygen last because it is the easiest to balance.
