It is phosphorous surrounded by the three bromines with single bonds. There are a total of 26 valence electrons, so each bromine is surrounded by three pairs of dots, with a lone pair on the phosphorous.

Is pbr3 dipole dipole?

Phosphorus tribromide (PBr3) is a polar molecule due to the difference in electronegativity between phosphorus and bromine, resulting in a dipole moment. However, the primary intermolecular forces in PBr3 are dipole-dipole interactions because of this polarity. Additionally, PBr3 may exhibit some London dispersion forces, but dipole-dipole interactions dominate in this case.
