1 answer:

7 0

Answer:

Pencil is always used to mark chromatography paper or TLC plates because ink may run and interfere with the chromatogram. ... As soon as the paper/plate is taken out, mark the solvent front with a pencil before the solvent evaporates and the front becomes impossible to see.

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

Korvikt [17]

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.
