Draw the lewis structure for ICl3 (iodine trichloride). What is the electron geometry and molecular geometry (shape) of the molecule?

Solutions

Expert Solution

There are two types of I-Cl bonds: one is at equatorial position and two at axial positions

bond pair - bond pair angle = 90°

lone pair - lone pair angle = 120°

lone pair - bond pair angles :

120° (between lone pairs and equatorial I-Cl bond pair)

90° (between lone pairs and axial I-Cl bond pair)
