Back ground info:
Atoms of different elements combine with one another to form compounds. It is important to be able to explain how atoms actually come together to form these compounds or chemical bonds. One of the three types of bonds is an ionic bond which is a bond between a metal atom and a nonmetal atom, or a cation and an anion. The Octet Rule is the driving force behind ionic bond formation.
The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds. When discussing the octet rule, we do not consider d or f electrons. Only the s and p electrons are involved in the octet rule, making it useful for the main group elements (elements not in the transition metal or inner-transition metal blocks); an octet in these atoms corresponds to an electron…
Be sure to answer all parts. Identify the correct Lewis electron-dot structures that would bond to form the correct Lewis structure of the product. (a) BrF3 from Br and F atoms.
