The shape of the bromate ion (BrO₄⁻) is tetrahedral. This geometry arises from the central bromine atom bonded to four oxygen atoms, with no lone pairs of electrons on the bromine. The tetrahedral arrangement minimizes electron pair repulsion according to VSEPR theory, resulting in bond angles of approximately 109.5 degrees between the oxygen atoms.
