Among the interhalide species

IF 3 , and IF 7

All iodine centers are either sp 3 d or sp 3 d 2 hybridised

The minimum angular separation between fluorine atoms is 60°

The anionic species are both isoelectronic and isostructural to XeF 2 and XeF 4

There is no species having a single lone pair of electrons

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

Hybridization and structure of → sp 3 d & linear

Hybridization and structure of XeF 2 → sp 3 d & linear

So Both XeF 2 and are isostructural and isoelectronic

Hybridization and structure of → sp 3 d 2 & square Planar

Hybridization and structure of XeF 4 → sp 3 d 2 & square Planar

⇒ Both XeF 4 and are isoelectronic and isostructural
