I can't answer that Po sorry
Answer:
Explanation:
Formal charge of ICl₂⁻
Formal charge = group no - ( no of non bonding electrons +no of bonds)
In I there are 7 electrons in outermost orbit . If we add one more electrons due to - ve charge on the ion , it becomes eight . This centrally placed iodine forms two single bond with two chlorine atoms on either side.
Each of chlorine atoms also contains 7 valance electrons like iodine.
So formal charge of chlorine
= group no - ( no of non bonding electrons +no of bonds)
= 7 - ( 6 + 1 )
= 0
So formal charge of iodine
= group no - ( no of non bonding electrons +no of bonds)
= 7 - ( 5 + 2 )
=0
Formal charge of ICl₂⁺
In this case , central iodine will have only 6 valence electrons due to absence one electron.
So formal charge of chlorine in ICl₂⁺
= group no - ( no of non bonding electrons +no of bonds)
= 7 - ( 6 + 1 )
= 0
formal charge of iodine in in ICl₂⁺
7 - ( 4 + 2)
= 1
