The ion is square planar as a result the lone pair from iodide is located at axial position making 4 lp- bp repulsions at 90 degree.
while the total number of repulsions are 8
5

As from structure it can be seen that number of bond pair-lone pair repulsion are 8.The ion is square planar as a result the lone pair from iodide is located at axial position making 4 lp- bp repulsions at 90 degree.
while the total number of repulsions are 8
4 bond pairs , 1 lone pair
