Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The central atom in the perbromate ion is bromine. The chemical symbol of bromine is Br. There are no lone pairs around the central bromine atom. The ion is tetrahedral in shape hence we expect a bond angle of 109°. 27 which is the ideal tetrahedral bond angle. The actual bond angle of the prebromate ion is 109.5°. The perbromate ion is BrO4^-

The observed bond angle is very close to the ideal value because of the absence of lone pairs of electrons from the central atom in the ion.
