What is the Lewis structure of BrF5?
Transcript: This is the BrF5 Lewis structure. For BrF5, we have a total of 42 valence electrons. Bromine is the least electronegative, we’ll put that in the center and then we’ll put 5 Fluorines around the outside. We’ll draw single bonds between the atoms for a total of 5 single bonds, so 10 valence electrons.
What is the Lewis structure?
A Lewis Structure is a very simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule. It is used to show how the electrons are arranged around individual atoms in a molecule. Electrons are shown as “dots” or for bonding electrons as a line between the two atoms.

How many electron group is BrF5?
6 electron groups
Each covalent bond contains a pair of electrons, which means the total number of electrons around the central atom is 12 electrons. Hence, there are 6 electron groups present around the central atom in bromine pentafluoride.
Why is BF4 nonpolar?
Dear Student, BF3 has triagonal planar shape while BF4- has a tetrahedral shape. BF3 being symmetrical in shape and all the bonds are identical, so it will have zero dipole moment i.e. it will be non polar.
