Question

Shape of the Icl using vsepr theory

Answer 1

Answer:

linear

Explanation:

The structure of ICl  

2

−

​  

 is linear having lone pair as above. Here, I has 7 electrons and two Cl give two electrons and one negative charge is there so total electrons is 10. So, it should be trigonal bipyramid but due two three lone pair it is linear as above. It is sp

d hybridise. So it is not trigonal, octahedral, square planar.
