Chapter 12, Problem 40E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The electron dot formula and structural formula of ${\text{BrO}}^{-}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

An electron dot formula is a way of representing the molecular structure in which electrons are represented by a dot. Structural formula is a way in which atoms are linked together through a solid line. This solid line represents the covalent bond. An electron dot structure is known as Lewis structure. Electron dot structure indicates the valence electrons of an atom which are involved in bonding.

Answer to Problem 40E

Electron dot structure of ${\text{BrO}}^{-}$ is shown below.

The structural formula of ${\text{BrO}}^{-}$ is shown below.

Explanation of Solution

In molecule ${\text{BrO}}^{-}$ bromine and oxygen are present as the bonding atoms. Bromine has $7$ valence electrons and oxygen has $6$ valence electrons. Negative charge is present on the molecule indicates that one electron is gained by the any atom of the molecule. Total number of electron pairs is calculated by adding the valence electrons and the negative charge present on the molecule. So, number of electrons is $(6+7+1)$ which is $14$. This shows that total electrons must be $14$. Total electrons present in bond pair is $2$. Rest of the electrons are present as the lone pairs on bromine and oxygen atom. An electron dot structure and structural formula of ${\text{BrO}}^{-}$ is shown below in Figure 1 and 2 respectively.

Figure 2

Solid line, in Figure 2, between the bromine and oxygen atom is the covalent bond which is made up of two electrons. This bond is formed by sharing of electrons between the atoms present in that bond.

Conclusion

Answer to Problem 40E

Electron dot structure of ${\text{BrO}}_2^{-}$ is shown below.

The structural formula of ${\text{BrO}}_2^{-}$ is shown below.

Explanation of Solution

In molecule ${\text{BrO}}_2^{-}$, bromine is the central atom and and oxygen is present as the surrounding atoms. Bromine has $7$ valence electrons and oxygen has $6$ valence electrons. Negative charge is present on the molecule indicates that one electron is gained by the atom of the molecule. Total number of electron pairs is calculated by adding the valence electrons and the negative charge present on the molecule. So, number of electrons is $(6+6+7+1)$ which is $20$. This shows that total electrons must be $20$ or $10$ pair of electrons. Total electrons present in each bond pair is $2$. Rest of the electrons are present as the lone pair on bromine and oxygen atoms. An electron dot structure and structural formula of ${\text{BrO}}_2^{-}$ is shown below in Figure 3 and 4 respectively.
