QUESTION:
Draw Lewis structures for the radical species \(\mathrm{ClF}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{BrO}_{2}\).
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
The provided compounds are \(\mathrm{ClF}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{BrO}_{2}\).
Lewis structures are illustrations of compounds’ bonded and non-bonded electrons. The electrons indulged in bonding or bonds are shown as lines, whereas the non-bonded pair is depicted as dots.
Radical species is the term for species that possess one or more unpaired electrons.
