Which of the following statement is true for IO 2 F 2 - ?

Options

  1. AThe electrons are located at the corners of a trigonal bipyramidal but one of the equatorial pairs is unshared
  2. BIt has sp 3 d hybridisation and is T -shaped.
  3. CIts structure is analogous to SF 4 .
  4. D( A ) and ( C ) both

Correct answer

D. ( A ) and ( C ) both

Step-by-step solution

It has sp 3 d hybridisation and is see-saw shaped. Since, there is one lone pair present on the central atom i.e., I , and there are four bond pairs. Hence, the structure is similar to SF 4 . (see-saw)
