The notation describes a molecule with iodine (I) at the center, surrounded by one chlorine (Cl) and one sulfur (S) atom, with additional bonding and non-bonding electron pairs indicated. The presence of "S1U1" (one shared and one unshared electron pair) around iodine suggests it has lone pairs, making the molecule's geometry linear due to the arrangement of electron pairs and atoms, but with lone pairs on the iodine atom.
