A step-by-step explanation of how to draw the NOBr Lewis Dot Structure (Nitrosyl bromide). For the NOBr structure use the periodic table to find the total number of valence electrons for the NOBr molecule. Once we know how many valence electrons there are in NOBr we can distribute them around the central atom with the goal of filling the outer shells of each atom. In the Lewis structure of NOBr structure there are a total of 18 valence electrons. NOBr is also called Nitrosyl bromide. ----- Steps to Write Lewis Structure for compounds like NOBr ----- 1. Find the total valence electrons for the NOBr molecule. 2. Put the least electronegative atom in the center. Note: Hydrogen (H) always goes outside. 3. Put two electrons between atoms to form a chemical bond. 4. Complete octets on outside atoms. 5. If central atom does not have an octet, move electrons from outer atoms to form double or triple bonds. ----- Lewis Resources ----- • Lewis Structures Made Simple: https://youtu.be/1ZlnzyHahvo • More practice: https://youtu.be/DQclmBeIKTc • Counting Valence Electrons: https://youtu.be/VBp7mKdcrDk • Calculating Formal Charge: https://youtu.be/vOFAPlq4y_k • Exceptions to the Octet Rule: https://youtu.be/Dkj-SMBLQzM Lewis Structures, also called Electron Dot Structures, are important to learn because they help us understand how atoms and electrons are arranged in a molecule, such as Nitrosyl bromide. This can help us determine the molecular geometry, how the molecule might react with other molecules, and some of the physical properties of the molecule (like boiling point and surface tension).
