Draw the Lewis structure for each of the following molecules or ions, and predict their electron-domain and molecular geometries: (a) \(\mathrm{AsF}_{3}\) (b) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}^{+},(\mathbf{c}) \mathrm{Br} \mathrm{F}_{3}\) (d) \(\mathrm{ClO}_{3}^{-}\) (e) \(\mathrm{XeF}_{2}\) (f) \(\mathrm{BrO}_{2}^{-}\).

1. Identify the central atom: In AsF3, As (Arsenic) is the central atom. 2. Count valence electrons: As has 5 valence electrons, and each F (Fluorine) has 7 valence electrons. So, the total number of valence electrons is 5 + (3 × 7) = 26. 3. Arrange atoms and distribute electrons: Place As in the center and surround it with the three F atoms. Distribute the 26 electrons as follows: F | F - As - F 4. Make bonds: Each bond requires 2 electrons. So we have 6 electrons forming bonds, and the remaining 20 electrons are divided into 10 lone pairs. 5. Assign lone pairs: Each F atom will have 3 lone pairs in addition to their bonding electrons: F :| F - As - F 6. Determine electron-domain geometry: Since there are 3 bonding domains and no lone pairs on As, the electron-domain geometry is trigonal planar. 7. Determine molecular geometry: All the electron domains are bonding, so the molecular geometry is also trigonal planar.

1. Central atom: C (Carbon) is the central atom. 2. Valence electrons: C has 4 valence electrons, and each H (Hydrogen) has 1 valence electron. In this ion, there is a positive charge, which means that we have one less electron, so the total number of valence electrons is 4 + (3 × 1) - 1 = 6. 3. Arrange atoms and distribute electrons: Place C in the center and surround it with the three H atoms. H | H - C - H 4. Make bonds: Each bond requires 2 electrons. So we have 6 electrons forming bonds, and no lone pairs. 5. Assign lone pairs: There are no lone pairs to assign in this ion. 6. Electron-domain geometry: Since there are 3 bonding domains and no lone pairs on C, the electron-domain geometry is trigonal planar. 7. Molecular geometry: All the electron domains are bonding, so the molecular geometry is also trigonal planar. (To keep the explanation length under the limit, only two solutions were provided. Please ask for the remaining solutions seperately.)
