Use VSEPR theory to predict the electron group arrangement around iodine, the central atom in the ion IF₂^-. A) octahedral B) trigonal bipyramidal C) tetrahedral D) trigonal planar E) bent

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ion IF2- has 5 electron groups around the central iodine atom (2 bonding pairs and 3 lone pairs), which corresponds to a trigonal bipyramidal electron group arrangement according to VSEPR theory.
