Iodine has 5 electron shells, each containing orbitals. The number of orbitals in iodine is therefore 5.
There are 27 electron containing orbitals in an atom of Iodine.
The central iodine atom in I3- has sp3d hybridization. This means that the iodine atom uses one 3s, three 3p, and one 3d atomic orbitals to form five equivalent sp3d hybrid orbitals for bonding.
The hybridization of ICL5 (iodine pentafluoride) is sp3d2, as it has 5 regions of electron density around the iodine atom (1 lone pair and 5 bonding pairs). This corresponds to the promotion of electrons from the 5s and 5p orbitals into the 5 d orbitals to form six equivalent sp3d2 hybrid orbitals.
The number of molecular orbitals in the system depends on the number of atomic orbitals that are combined. If two atomic orbitals combine, they form two molecular orbitals: a bonding orbital and an antibonding orbital. So, in general, the number of molecular orbitals in a system is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that are combined.
An example of sp3d2 hybridization is in the molecule IF7 (Iodine heptachloride). In this molecule, the iodine atom undergoes sp3d2 hybridization where one 5s, three 5p, and two 5d orbitals combine to form six equivalent sp3d2 hybrid orbitals.
There are 27 electron containing orbitals in an atom of Iodine.
Iodine has 7 electron-containing orbitals, corresponding to its 7 valence electrons in the p subshell. These orbitals can hold a maximum of 2 electrons each.
Iodine has an atomic number of 53, which means it has 53 electrons. The electron configuration of iodine is [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁵. In this configuration, the filled orbitals include the 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 4d, and 5s orbitals, totaling 10 filled orbitals: 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 4d¹⁰, and 5s². The 5p orbital has 5 electrons but is not fully filled, so it does not contribute to the count of filled orbitals.

The number of hybrid orbitals produced by an atom is determined by the number of atomic orbitals that are mixed together to form the hybrid orbitals. For example, when an atom undergoes sp3 hybridization, one s orbital and three p orbitals combine to form four sp3 hybrid orbitals. The number and types of hybrid orbitals depend on the atomic orbitals participating in the hybridization process.
Thus the total number of atomic orbitals in the fourth energy level of an atom is 16.
The Atomic number of iodine is 53.
To determine the number of hybrid orbitals in a molecule, you can use the formula: number of hybrid orbitals number of sigma bonds number of lone pairs on the central atom. Count the sigma bonds and lone pairs to find the total number of hybrid orbitals.
In iodine pentafluoride (IF5), the sigma bond between iodine (I) and fluorine (F) is formed by the overlap of an sp³d hybrid orbital from iodine with the 2p orbital of fluorine. Iodine undergoes hybridization to accommodate its coordination number of five, leading to the formation of sp³d hybrid orbitals. This allows iodine to effectively bond with the five fluorine atoms, resulting in the molecular structure of IF5.
