Questions & Answers
QUESTION:
Write Lewis structures for \(BrF_3\), \(ClF_5,\) and \(IF_7\). Identify those in which the octet rule is not obeyed.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
The structures of compounds represented using the electrons or bonds as dots are called the Lewis structures.
The atoms surrounded by eight electrons by satisfying the bond formation are called the octet configuration. Those atoms are said to be obeying the octet rule.
