Step 1
1 of 5In order to determine the geometry of Br, first, we need to draw its Lewis dot structure.
First, let's determine the number of valence electrons in Br. Bromine is a member of group 7A so it has 7 valence electrons. Don't forget to add up one electron because of the 1- charge:
Now, the first step in drawing Lewis structures is connecting all the atoms with a single bond:

We used 4 electrons so we have 18 electrons left.
