D. AIPMT 2014 Chemistry - Redox Reactions Question 16 English Explanation

The correct answer is option (A)

The tribromo octaoxide is a neutral molecule and does not contain any charge. The structure of molecules contain all oxygen atoms bonded with double bonds with bromine atoms. The molecule contains three bromine atoms and eight oxygen atoms.

Complete step by step answer:
Bromine combines with oxygen to give a variety of oxides. The tribromo octaoxide is the oxide of bromine that contain three bromine atoms and eight oxygen atoms. The structure of the oxide is as-
