ANSWER:

Problem 40EDetermine the molecular geometry and sketch each molecule or ion, using the bondconventions shown in the "Representing Molecular Geometries on Paper Box in Section10.4. a. b. c. d. Step by step solutionStep 1 of 4(a) has 42 valence electrons. The central atom Bromine has six electron groups out of whichone is a lone pair. So the electron geometry is octahedral while the molecular geometry is squarepyramidal. Therefore, the molecular structure is as shown below._____________________________________________________________________________
