6. (0) Br₂BN3 is a stable compound of boron that exits as a monomer Br₂BN3 in the gas phase and as a trimer (Br₂BN3) in the solid state. (a) Write the Lewis structure of the Br₂BN3 monomer in which B is bonded to two Er atoms and one azide group (linear N, species). Please note that the terminal N-N bond length of the azide in Br₂BN is close to that of elemental N₂. (b) The Br₂BN, compound in the solid state is a trimer in which alpha N atoms (N directly bonded to B) of the N, group are bridging the B atoms to form a hexagonal B,N, ring. Draw the structure of the trimer and explain using octet rule arguments why Br₂BN3 prefers to combine with itself to make (Br₂BN) trimers.
