Draw the structure of `BrF_(3), XeOF_(4), XeO_(3)` using VSEPR theory.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To draw the structures of `BrF3`, `XeOF4`, and `XeO3` using VSEPR theory, we will follow a systematic approach for each compound. ### Step 1: Draw the structure of `BrF3` 1. **Identify the central atom**: The central atom in `BrF3` is bromine (Br). 2. **Determine the valence electrons**: Bromine has 7 valence electrons (Group 17). 3. **Count the bonding pairs**: There are 3 fluorine (F) atoms, which form 3 single bonds with bromine. This accounts for 3 of the 7 electrons. 4. **Calculate lone pairs**: After forming 3 bonds, 4 electrons remain. These will form 2 lone pairs (2 electrons each). ...
