The video tutorial explains how to write the Lewis structure for the perbromate ion (BrO4-). It begins by calculating the total valence electrons, considering bromine and oxygen atoms, and the extra electron due to the negative charge. The tutorial then guides through placing bromine at the center, surrounding it with oxygen atoms, and forming chemical bonds. It ensures all atoms have complete octets and concludes by adding brackets and a negative sign to indicate the ion's charge.
