🧠 The Oxide Map
Tribromooctaoxide () is an interesting compound where not all Bromines are created equal. To draw it, we need to balance the oxygens across a three-bromine chain.

🗺️ The Structural Logic
1. The Chain: Start with a chain of three Bromine atoms: .
2. Distributing 8 Oxygens:
   - The terminal (end) Bromines have more "room" to carry oxygens. They each take three: .
   - The middle Bromine is clamped between two atoms, leaving it room for only two oxygens.
3. The Layout: 
   - Ter
