Yes, SiBr4 is a nonpolar molecule. This is because the molecule is symmetrical, with the four bromine atoms arranged in a tetrahedral structure around the central silicon atom, resulting in a net dipole moment of zero.
No, SiBr4 is not ionic. Silicon tetrabromide (SiBr4) is a covalent compound, as it consists of shared pairs of electrons between the silicon atom and the four bromine atoms.
The compound with the formula SiBr4 is silicon tetrabromide.
The hybridization state of SiBr4 is sp3 (tetrahedral). Silicon has 4 valence electrons, and in SiBr4, these electrons form 4 sigma bonds with the bromine atoms, resulting in a tetrahedral geometry.

The Lewis dot structure for germanium (Ge) is: Ge: :Ge:
The Lewis structure of the compound CCLO is as follows: CCCl-O.
The formal charge of the NCO Lewis structure is zero.
No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.
The molecular geometry of the BR3 Lewis structure is trigonal planar.
The Lewis structure was created by American chemist Gilbert N. Lewis in 1916. Lewis proposed using dots to represent the valence electrons of an atom in order to show how atoms bond together in molecules.
