The ion ICl4- is called tetrachloroiodate(1-) ion.


What is true about the ion ICl4-?

ICl4-'s electron domain geometry is octahedral.


What is the molecular geometry for ICL4 -?

square planar


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


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.


Why is ICl4 not tetrahedral?

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.


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.


Is ICl4- a square planar and polar?

Yes, it is square planar. The central iodine atom exceeds the octet rule by bonding with all four chlorine atoms and having two lone pairs. A central atom with six electron pairs (d2sp3 hybridization) and two lone electron pairs by definition is square planar (see VSEPR theory for more information). Because of its symmetrical geometry, it will have no dipole moment.


Is ICL4- polar or nonpolar?

nonpolar


What are the bond angles of ICl4?

90, 120, 180.
