How do draw Lewis structure for IBr3?

Answer 1

Br

Then draw two dots like .. above and below its chemical symbol.

Then draw two dots like : to the left of it.

Then draw a single dot like . to the right of it.

In summary, it should be the chemical symbol, with seven dots around it in groups of two where possible. Group 7 element, so 7 valence electrons to draw.

*Can also use crosses like x and xx.

Answer 2

iodine w/ six electrons around it, bromine w/ six electrons around it and two electrons between them. that will maintain an octet around both atoms.

Answer 3

The dot structure for IBr has an I atom singly bonded to a Br atom. Each of these then has three pair of dots on the unbonded sides.

Answer 4

Add 3 lone pair of electrons to each Br and I atom.

Answer 5

: Br : Br : and both bromine atoms also have a pair of electrons both above and below them.

Answer 6

.. ..

Br - I - Br

Br
