What is the Lewis structure of PBr3? (Assign lone pairs, and radical electrons where appropriate. Omit atomic charges.)

Solutions

Expert Solution

The Lewis structure of is as shown.

P atom has 5 valence electrons and Br atom has 7 valence electrons. P shares 3 electrons with 3 Br atoms to form 3 bonds. A lone pair of electrons remains on P atom. Each Br atom has 3 lone pairs of electrons.
