Is ICl4 bent?
First off, ICl4 doesn't really exist. It should be ICl4- as the lone electron on Iodine (the central atom) will instantly pull another electron to itself to make a lone pair. Therefore iodine has two lone pairs and four elemental bonds (one to each chlorine). Since we have six total bonds (including the lone pairs) the geometrical shape will be octahedral. However, since, the lone pairs repel each other they will go to the top and bottom of the structure, making ICl4 square planar. So no, it is not bent per se, but it does deviate from the expected shape of ICl4 (3+) (which would be trigonal bipyramidal) because of the lone pairs.
Which xenon compound is isostructural with ICl4?
XeF4 is isostructural with ICl4. Both compounds have a square planar molecular geometry with bond angles of 90 degrees and are considered isostructural due to their similar arrangement of atoms in the molecule.
What is the ion formed by chlorine called?
The ion formed by chlorine is the "chloride" ion
An ion that exits by itself is called a what?
Monatomic Ion, because Mono means One (1)
What is an atom with an electrical charge on it called?
An atom with a charge (either positive or negative) is called an "ion." An ion with a positive charge is called a "cation" and an ion with a negative charge is called an "anion ."
What is true about the ion ICl4-?
ICl4-'s electron domain geometry is octahedral.
The ion ICl4- has how many valence electrons?
if you are asking about ICl4- ion then there are 28 valence electrons and 8 binding ones.total of 36 electrons
