Use the VSEPR model to predict the electron-pair geometry of IF₂^-. A) linear B) bent C) triangular bipyramidal D) tetrahedral E) T-shaped

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given molecular formula IF₂^- translates to IF5, which has 5 bonding pairs and no lone pairs on the central atom (Iodine). According to the VSEPR model, this leads to a triangular bipyramidal electron-pair geometry.
