Question

Draw the Lewis structure for BrOSFCl ^-1 (Br breaks the octet rule). What is the geometry and the shape? What types of bonds does it have? Is the molecule polar?

Total valence electron around Bromine = 10 , hence breaks octet rule.

Total electron pairs = 5

4 signa bonds + 1 lone pair.

Hence, teric number = 5

Hybridisation is sp³d. Hence electron geometry is trigonal bipyramidal.

Due to lone pair molecular geometry see saw.

It has covalent and coordinate bonds.

Molecule has no symmetry hence polar.
