ICl4 is not tetrahedral because it has a total of six electron domains, resulting in a square planar molecular geometry. In a square planar shape, the four chlorine atoms and one lone pair of electrons are positioned at the corners of a square around the central iodine atom.
nonpolar
if you are asking about ICl4- ion then there are 28 valence electrons and 8 binding ones.total of 36 electrons
Tetrahedral no, wait, tetrahedral sorry
There are no tetrahedral crystals.
The molecule shape of CH4 (methane) is tetrahedral, with the carbon atom at the center and the four hydrogen atoms at the vertices. This shape maximizes the distance between the hydrogen atoms, minimizing repulsion and leading to a stable molecule.
ICl4-'s electron domain geometry is octahedral.
The ion ICl4- is called tetrachloroiodate(1-) ion.

90, 120, 180.
square planar
Planar with an angle of 90 dergrees
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.
No it is not a tetrahedral!

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.
No it is Tetrahedral You forgot the capital T
SiCl4 has a tetrahedral shape according to the VSEPR theory. Each Cl atom is located at the corner of the tetrahedron, with the silicon atom at the center.
