Answer:
Please find attached the completed Lewis dot diagram structure for PI₂F
Explanation:
The number of valence electrons are;
Phosphorus = 5 Electrons
Iodine = 2 × 7 electrons = 14 electrons
Chlorine = 7 electrons
The total number of valence electrons = 14 + 7 + 5 = 26 electrons
2) We draw the symbol that represents the basic (general) structure of the molecule as follows;
The sheared electron pair are represented by single bond lines
3) We complete the octet structures round the fluorine and the iodine atoms as attached showing 18 electrons plus 6 shared electron pairs, with a maximum from step 2 to give a total of (18 + 6) 24 electron pairs
4) We add the 2 unaccounted valence electron on the phosphorus atom to give it the stable octet structure, which gives the completed Lewis structure
