Question

Hybridisation
of
I3 -​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hybridisation

of

I3

Explanation:

I3- molecular geometry is linear. While there are three Iodine atoms, one of the atoms has a negative charge which further gives 3 lone pairs of electrons and 2 bond pairs. Its steric number will be 5. The three lone pairs will repel each other and take up equatorial positions. The remaining two Iodine atoms are at 180o from each other.

Answer 2

Answer:

=5

Explanation:

hybridisation=1/2×( valance electron on central atom+{- ve charge}+no. of monovalent atom - { +be charge})

so, in I3-. hybridisation no.is 5. and hybridisation is sp3 d
