Draw the Lewis structure for the BrO3- ion before answering the following questions (You do NOT submit a picture just answer the questions) Bromine is the central atom and all atoms obey the octet rule. WARNING: Do NOT USE the internet or other sources to find the structures. Use ONLY the rules taught in class. ALL atoms obey the octet rule Answer the following questions for the Lewis structure for the BrO3- ion given that Bromine is the central atom and all atoms obey the octet rule. Give answers as numbers (1,2,3 ...etc.) not words (one, two three etc.) How many bonds does the Bromine atom form How many electrons surround the Bromine atom How many lone pairs are around the Bromine atom How many bonds does each oxygen atom form How many lone pairs are around each oxygen atom How many electrons surround each oxygen atom
Formal Charges
Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be neutral atoms.
Polarity Of Water
In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in the electronegativities of the bonded atoms. Water, as we all know has two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. As oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen thus, there exists polarity in the bonds which is why water is known as a polar solvent.
Valence Bond Theory Vbt
Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the formation of covalent bonds with the help of wavefunctions using attractive and repulsive energies when two atoms are brought from infinity to their internuclear distance.
