Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central atom in BrF4^- is bromine, which has 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs of electrons, resulting in 6 electron domains. According to the VSEPR model, 6 electron domains correspond to an octahedral electron-domain geometry.

Using the VSEPR Model, the Electron-Domain Geometry of the Central
