Iodine trichloride exists as a dimer I2Cl6, in solid state. Let, X = number of 3c−4e− bond, Y = maximum number of atoms in a plane and Z = number of 2c−2e− bond present in this molecule.Then find (X×YZ)

Solution
I2Cl6 contain 2,(3c−4e−) bonds and 4,(2c−2e−)bonds. It is a planar dimer. So, all the atoms are in plane. Thus, X=2,Y=8andZ=4. Hence X×YZ=4
