In the Lewis structure of CHI₃ (iodoform), the central carbon atom is bonded to one hydrogen atom and three iodine atoms. The carbon atom has no unbonded electrons, while each iodine atom has three unbonded pairs of electrons. Therefore, there are a total of 9 unbonded electrons from the three iodine atoms in CHI₃.
Yes
CHI3, also known as iodoform, is an organic compound. It consists of carbon, hydrogen, and iodine atoms, classifying it under organic chemistry due to the presence of carbon. Its structure includes a carbon atom bonded to three iodine atoms and one hydrogen atom, which is characteristic of organic halides.
The geometry shape of CHI3 (iodomethane) is tetrahedral, with the carbon atom at the center and three hydrogen atoms and one iodine atom bound to it, leading to a symmetrical tetrahedral shape.
Iodoform has the chemical formula CHI3; it is a crystalline solid, volatile, yellow, with a characteristic odor. Iodoform was used as antiseptic.
Yes, CH3I can undergo iodoform reaction when treated with a strong base like NaOH to form iodoform (CHI3) along with other byproducts.
CHI3
Yes
Tetrahedral However, it is not a uniform tetrahedron, but biased in favour of 'H' .
The oxidation number for carbon in CHI3 compound is -2. In CHI3, iodine has an oxidation number of -1 and hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1, which allows carbon to have an oxidation number of -2 to balance the overall charge of the compound.

The molecular geometry of chloroform (CHI3) is tetrahedral. In this molecule, the central carbon atom is bonded to one hydrogen atom and three iodine atoms. The presence of these four bonded pairs of electrons around the carbon leads to a tetrahedral arrangement, with bond angles of approximately 109.5 degrees. However, the presence of larger iodine atoms affects the exact bond angles.
The oxidation state of iodine in CHI3 is -1. This is because hydrogen usually has an oxidation state of +1 and the overall molecule has to be neutral, so the sum of the oxidation states must be zero.

3-Pentanone does not give a positive iodoform test because it lacks the necessary structure. The iodoform test specifically requires the presence of a methyl ketone (a ketone with a methyl group adjacent to the carbonyl), which 3-pentanone does not have; its structure is CH3(CH2)3COCH3. Instead, it features a propyl group adjacent to the carbonyl, preventing the formation of iodoform (CHI3) upon reaction with iodine and a base.
