Write the Lewis structure for ICl4- and identify its shape and hybridization scheme
Added by Michael P.
Step 1
Count the total number of valence electrons: Iodine (I) has 7 valence electrons, and each Chlorine (Cl) atom has 7 valence electrons. Since the molecule has a -1 charge, we add one more electron. So, the total number of valence electrons is 7 + 4(7) + 1 = 36. Show more…
