Octet means presence of a total of 8 electrons in its valence shell while in case of duplet only 2 electrons are present in valence shell.
The given statement is True.
This is single replacement reaction.
As reactivity decreases down the group,
Iodine is less reactive than Chlorine.
And so Iodine cannot replace chlorine from FeCl2.
I2 + FeCl2 ---> no reaction (Iodine is less reactive than chlorine)
