Question

There are three different possible structures (known as isomers) of a dibromoethene molecule, C 2 H 2 Br 2 C2H2Br2 . One of them has no net dipole moment, but the other two do. Draw Lewis structures for each of these structures. Include H H atoms. nonpolar C 2 H 2 Br 2 C2H2Br2 structure (one structure)

Answer 1

The structures are shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

The Lewis structure is done with the elements represented by its letter signal, and the bonds between the atoms, representing the free pairs of electrons. At C₂H₂Br₂, there is a double bond between carbons, and each carbon can be bond to hydrogen or brome. The only brome has lone pairs because it's in group 7, so it has 3 lone pairs.

The three possible structure is shown below. Only the third is nonpolar because the dipole moments are canceled.
