Explain in detail if Bromine Pentafluoride (BrF5) has resonance structures? Isomers? Draw lewis structures and identify which one is the most likely structure using Formal Charges.

Question

show a variety of possible ways

Answer 1

Put Br in the middle bonded to 5 F atoms. Place 1 lone pair of electrons on the Br. All atoms have a formal charge of zero. There are no resonance structures and no isomers.
