Answer the questions in the table below about the shape of the difluoroiodide anion.
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline How many electron groups are around the central iodine atom? \\
Note: one "electron group" means one lone pair, one single bohd, \\
one double bond, or one triple bond.
\end{tabular}
Studdy Solution
Count the total number of electron groups around iodine.
The electron groups include:
- 2 single bonds with fluorine atoms.
- 2 lone pairs.
Total electron groups = 2 (bonds) + 2 (lone pairs) = 4 electron groups.
The number of electron groups around the central iodine atom is 4.
