Draw the Lewis Structure for NI3.
1 answer:
Explanation:
Nitrogen triiodide (NI₃)
Valence electrons of nitrogen = 5
Valence electrons of iodine = 7
The total number of the valence electrons = 5 + 3(7) = 26
The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete. So,
The Lewis structure is shown in image below.
Nitrogen posses one lone pair and thus the geometry is pyramidal.
