What is the molecular shape of IO3?

Answer 1

Linear. It actually exists as I3- meaning that one of the iodines has an extra electron. Putting the extra electron at the central iodine atom gives you two bond pairs and three lone pairs, for a steric number of 5. Linear.

Answer 2

The molecular geometry of IO2-, otherwise known as Iodite ion, is linear. There is one Ion atom with two oxygen substituents. Because of differences in electronegativity, molecular geometry might be slightly bent.

Answer 3

trigonal planar, see related links for a diagram

Answer 4

The molecular shape of IOF3 is a "seesaw". The central atom has 1 lone pair of electrons and at the same time has 4 bonds

Answer 5

trigonal planar

Answer 6

It is linear

Answer 7

Trigonal pyramidal.

Answer 8

Tetrahedral
