Answer:
Two non bonded electron pairs and four bonded electron pairs
Explanation:
An image of the compound as obtained from chemlibretext is attached to this answer.
The ion ICl4- ion, is an AX4E2 ion. This implies that there are four bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons. As expected, the shape of the ion is square planar since the lone pairs are found above and below the plane of the square. This is clear from the image attached.
Answer:
- <em>The pH of the solution is </em><u><em>7</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>The pH</em> is a measure of the acidity of the solutions. It is defined as the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺).
<em>The hydrogen ion concentration of this solution is 1 × 10⁻⁷ M.</em>
Hence:
- pH = - log (1 × 10⁻⁷) = - (-7) = 7
This pH corresponds to a neutral solution (neither acid nor alkaline).
You should remember this relation bwtween pH and acidity/alkaliinity:
- Low pH (0.0 or close) corresponds to strong acids
- HIgh pH (14.0 or close) corresponds to strong bases
- Acids have pH between 0.0 and 7.0
- Bases have pH between 7.0 and 14.0

The biological compounds that are nonpolar and insoluble in water are lipids. It is a group of molecules that are naturally occurring which includes sterols, waxes, fats, fat-soluble vitamins and the like. These molecules are nonpolar molecules so basically the cannot be dissolved in a polar solvent like water.
