We can see here that the Lewis structure of the structure can be drawn by considering the valence electrons of each atom and their arrangement in the molecule.
A Lewis structure is a simplified representation of a molecule that illustrates the arrangement of atoms, bonds, and valence electrons within a compound. This structural representation was introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis and is fundamental in understanding molecular geometry, chemical bonding, and the behavior of compounds.
In the structure,
- Carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons.
- Hydrogen (H) has 1 valence electron.
- Bromine (Br) has 7 valence electrons.
The nonzero formal charge in the structure is +1.
Attached is the complete question and drawn alternative Lewis structure .
