BrO- Lewis Structure Concepts

The video tutorial explains the BrO- Lewis structure, starting with the valence electrons of Bromine and Oxygen. It details the process of placing these atoms and forming a chemical bond, ensuring both achieve an octet. The tutorial concludes by adding brackets to indicate the negative ion, completing the BrO- structure.

How many valence electrons does Bromine contribute to the BrO- Lewis structure?

• 5

• 6

• 7

• 8

What is the total number of valence electrons used in the BrO- Lewis structure?

• 12

• 14

• 16

• 18

Where are the two valence electrons placed to form a chemical bond in the BrO- structure?

• On the outer shell of Oxygen

• Between Bromine and Oxygen atoms

• Between two Oxygen atoms

• Between two Bromine atoms

What is the significance of ensuring both Bromine and Oxygen have an octet in the BrO- structure?

• It increases the molecular weight

• It makes the molecule positively charged

• It stabilizes the molecule

• It reduces the number of valence electrons

Why are brackets used in the BrO- Lewis structure?

• To highlight the central atom

• To denote a negative ion

• To show the structure is incomplete

• To indicate a positive ion
