Identify linear chemical species from icl2- and of2+ and if2+
Dear Student,
ICl2- has sp3d hybridization having trigonal bipyramidal geometry with a linear structure. The 2Cl- are present on the axial plane while the lone pairs are present on the equatorial plane . Thereby the repulsion is minimum and structure is linear.
While OF2+ and IF2+ have a bent structure due to repulsion between lone pair and bond pairs.
Regards!
