Chapter 10, Problem 10.95QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The geometry of Phosphorus atom and placement of Fluorine and Bromine about the Phosphorus atom along with Lewis structure of ${\text{PF}}_{\text{2}}{\text{Br}}_{\text{2}}$ has to be described.

Concept Introduction:

Valence bond theory: The VSEPR theory tells about the shapes of molecules and ions by taking the consideration that the outermost electron pairs are arranged about each atom so that the pairs of electrons are kept at a distance from one molecule to other, thereby minimizing the repulsion of electron-pair.

To draw Lewis structure of ${\text{PF}}_{\text{2}}{\text{Br}}_{\text{2}}$
