Question

how many electrons will be around I in the compound if7​

Answer 1

Explanation:

there are 14 electrons around I in the compound if7

Answer 2

Answer: The number of electrons in the given compound is 14

Explanation:

We are given a chemical compound having formula of $IF_7$

To calculate the number of electron pairs around the central metal atom, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of electron pairs}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom, iodine = 7

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom  = 7

C = charge of cation = 0

A = charge of anion  = 0

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Number of electron pairs}=\frac{1}{2}\times [7+7]=7$

In a pair of electrons, 2 electrons are present.

Number of electrons = 2 × Number of electron pairs

So, number of electrons = (2 × 7) = 14

Hence, the number of electrons in the given compound is 14
