What is the lewis structure for HBrO4. Also show the VSEPR structure The following, if it turns out ok, is the BrO₄^{-^{ion.

Forget it. It's really hard to do on these boards. Place Br on your paper, to the left, top, right, and bottom, draw and O atom. Then place eight electrons around each O atom. That will be 32 electrons when you finish and you will have 8 electrons around each O atoms and 8 electrons around Br.
