$ICl_2^-$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) To determine the number of lone pairs on the central atom:$1$. $C_2H_2$ (Acetylene): $H-C \equiv C-H$. The central carbon atoms have $0$ lone pairs.$2$. $HCN$: $H-C \equiv N$. The central carbon atom has $0$ lone pairs.$3$. $ICl_2^-$: The central iodine atom has $7$ valence electrons,plus $1$ from the negative charge,minus $2$ used for bonding with $Cl$ atoms,leaving $6$ electrons,which equals $3$ lone pairs.$4$. $CS_2$: $S=C=S$. The central carbon atom has $0$ lone pairs.Thus,$ICl_2^-$ is linear and has the maximum number of lone pairs $(3)$.

Molecule	$P-X$ (axial) bond length / $P-X$ (equatorial) bond length
$PF_5$	$a / b$
$PF_4CH_3$	$c / d$
$PF_3(CH_3)_2$	$e / f$
$PCl_5$	$g / h$
