Question

The structure of $I{F}_7$ is:

• A. square pyramid
• B. trigonal bipyramid
• C. octahedral
• D. pentagonal bipyramid

Answer 1

The correct option is D pentagonal bipyramid

In $I{F}_7$, $I$ undergoes $s{p}^3{d}^3$ hybridization.

So, its structure will be pentagonal bipyrimidal.

Hence, option $D$ is the correct answer.
