Answer : The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.
Explanation :
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.
In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.
The given molecule is,
As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electron.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 4 + 3(1) + 1 = 8
According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.
Now we have to determine the formal charge on carbon atom.
Formula for formal charge :
The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.
The hybrid orbital of this molecule is . Hence, option C is correct.
<h3>What is hybridisation?</h3>
Hybridization is defined as the concept of mixing two atomic orbitals to give rise to a new type of hybridized orbitals.
In this compound, a hybrid orbital makes I-O bonds. Due to hybridization iodate should have tetrahedral geometry but because of the presence of lone pair of electrons the shape of the ion is pyramidal.
The hybrid orbital of this molecule is . Hence, option C is correct.

Answer:
Explanation:
An element with atomic number 18 is a noble gas.
The element with atomic number 19 will have one extra electron so it can donate one electron or shed one electron to attain noble gas configuration .
It tends to shed one electron to become positively charged ion . Hence they are electro-positive elements .
Similarly the element with atomic number 17 will have one short electron so it can gain one electron to attain noble gas configuration .
They tend to gain one electron to become negatively charged ion . Hence they are electro-negative elements . They have high electronegativity .
