Question

Shown below is the Lewis structure of bromate ion:A. What is the formal charge on the bromine (Br) atom?B. What is the formal charge of each of the oxygen (O) atoms labeled a, b, and c?

Accepted Answer

Br = 0; a = 0; b = 0; c = –1

Answer

Br = 0; a = –1; b = –1; c = 0

Answer

Br = +1; a = 0; b = 0; c =+1

Answer

Br = +1; a = –1; b = –1; c = 0

Answer

Br = 0; a = –1; b = –1; c = +1
