Question

Methyl bromide (CH3Br) is produced naturally by fungi. Methyl bromide has also been used in agriculture as a fumigant, but this use is being phased out because the compound has been linked to ozone depletion in the atmosphere. Draw the Lewis structure of CH3Br with the formal charges minimized. Include lone pairs of electrons.

Answer 1

Answer:

See image attached for structure of CH3Br

Explanation:

A lewis structure structure is a representation of a covalent compound in which dots are used to show valence electrons, lone pairs and bonding electrons. The system was introduced by sir G.N Lewis in 1916 in his article titled 'Atom and Molecule'. They are also called dot electron diagrams of molecules. CH3Br molecule contains a total of fourteen electrons. Valence electrons are shown by dots around the atom of each element as clearly seen in the image attached.
