Chlorine is in 3rd period and 17th group

bromine is in 4th period and 17th group.

The number of shells present in an atom is equal to the period no. In which it is present.

So, chlorine has 3 shells while bromine has 4 shells.

And atomis size is the distance between centre of nucleus and outermost shell.

So, bromine atom is larger than bromine atom..

Which atom in the molecule C Br is partially positive?

The carbon atom in CBr is partially positive, as bromine is more electronegative than carbon, causing the carbon atom to have a partial positive charge.


What is the Lewis structure of CHBr3?

The Lewis structure of CHBr3 can be drawn with carbon as the central atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms and one bromine atom. The carbon-bromine bond is represented by a single bond with three lone pairs on bromine, making the bromine atom negatively charged.


Is C2HBr polar or nonpolar?

It's polar because there is an uneven distribution of charge and Br is relatively electronegative compared to C (as opposed to H, which has an electronegativity that is fairly close to C).


What is the Lewis dot structure for CBr4?

1) First write the bonding sequence. Usually the first atom, other than H is the central atom. In this example Br is the central atom. Write Br first and draw two bonds to connect the 2 extra Br atoms in the Br3-. Br-Br-Br 2) Count the total number of valence electrons : 3 X 7 + 1 = 22 (since bromine belongs to VII group, each Br has 7 valence electrons and add 1 for each - ve charge) 3) Since there are two bonds in the structure drawn in rule 1, subtract 4 bonding electrons (2 electrons for each bond) from the total valence electrons, 22 (22-4 =18). This gives 18 electrons. 4) Distribute these electrons to the atoms in the Br3-. First satisfy the surrounding atoms, making sure that each atom has an octet around it (H will have doublet). Each surrounding Br atom needs 6 electrons to attain octet.

(Note: This editor doesn't let me put the lone pairs on the atoms correctly. I tried to edit and correct it, but goes back to the same way as given above.

Ccl2br2 Lewis structure?

The Lewis structure of CCl2Br2 consists of one carbon atom bonded to two chlorine atoms and two bromine atoms. The central carbon atom is double bonded to one chlorine atom and single bonded to the other chlorine and two bromine atoms. The electron pairs are arranged around each atom to satisfy the octet rule.

Would C-Br bond be polar?

Yes, the C-Br bond is polar because bromine is more electronegative than carbon, causing a separation of charge with a partial negative charge on the bromine atom and a partial positive charge on the carbon atom.

What bond is more polar C-N or Br-S and which way does the dipole point?

The C-N bond is more polar than the Br-S bond based on differences in electronegativity values (∆EN). The dipole will have the negative pole at the N and the positive pole at the C. For Br-S, the negative pole is the Br and the positive pole is the S.

Why does 2-iodobutane react faster than 2-chlorobutane?

2-Iodobutane reacts faster than 2-chlorobutane in an Sn2 reaction due to the larger size of the iodine atom, which makes it a better leaving group. The larger iodine atom polarizes the C-I bond more easily, facilitating the departure of the leaving group and promoting the Sn2 reaction.


How do you draw a Lewis doy gram for CH3Br?

The Lewis dot diagram is drawn by writing down C for the carbon atom. On each cardinal direction, a dash is drawn. On three of the dashes, one H is drawn and on the last dash, the Br is written down. Around the Br atom, two dots are drawn on each unconnected side.


Can side A plus Side B ever be larger than side C in a triangle?

No, according to to the Triangular Inequality, A+B can never be larger than C.==========================Opinion #2:It seems to me that A+B must be larger than C,otherwise you can't make a triangle with them.


Lewis structure C2H2Br2?

BrF3 does not follow the octet rule. Both Br and F have seven valence electrons, so the Lewis structure will have a total of 28 electrons, or 14 electron pairs. Br is the central atom, connected to each F atom by a single bond. 3 lone electron pairs will surround each F atom, and 2 lone electron pairs will be on the Br atom.
