Pbr3 Molecular Shape
On the shape of something
The things in the world, each shape has its own state, and one or two of its properties can be known by observing its shape. Now when talking about "Pbr3 Molecular Shape", we should use the method of checking things to investigate its essence.

Looking at Pbr3, the atom in the center is like the base of a beam and column, which is phosphorus (P). Surrounded by three bromine (Br) atoms. The state of this structure is not flat and unfolding, but a triangular cone.

Why is this so? Because of the force between atoms, the interaction. The outer electrons of the phosphorus atom are distributed in chapters. When it forms a bond with the bromine atom, the electron clouds overlap each other, trying to reach the lowest energy in order to stabilize. The lone pair of electrons also has its force, which affects the shape of the molecule. Although the phosphorus atom is connected to the tribromine atom in the center, there is still a lone pair of electrons occupying one side, and the repulsion force between the lone pair of electrons and the bonding electron pair is different. The bonding electron pair is pulled by the bromine atom, while the lone pair of electrons does not have this burden, and its repulsion force is stronger. Therefore, the shape of the molecule is not an equilateral triangle, but because of the repulsion of the lone pair of electrons, the bromine atom is slightly inclined downward, forming a triangular cone.

From this perspective, we want to know the shape of the molecule, the bonding force between the atoms, and the distribution of electrons. This is the way to know things, which can explore the wonders of the microscopic world and
