Question

In ICl4, the shape is square planar. The number of bond pair-lone lone pair repulsion at 90^{o are :}

^{A) 6. B) 8. C) 12. D) 4}

Answer 1

ICl4-

Has square planar shape with sp3d2 hybridisation. There are 4 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs.

each lone pair is at right angle to bond pairs.

So total= 2x4= 8
