Question

What is the maximum covalency of iodine

Answer 1

maximum covalency of iodine in its interhalogen compound is show with.

Answer 2

The maximum covalency of iodine is 1.

The total number of unpaired electrons in the s- and p-orbitals in the valence shell is the maximum covalency (for elements lacking a d orbital).

Covalency is the valence of a chemical compound in which electrons are shared.

It is the number of covalent bonds that the element's atom has created with other atoms. The number of valence electrons is the same as the maximal covalency.

Iodine has seven valence electrons, so it typically forms only one covalent bond. Therefore covalency of Iodine is 1.
