What is the shape of \(\mathrm{I}_3^{-}\)ion?
- A Trigonal
- B Linear
- C Bent
- D Trigonal planar
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Linear
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{I}_3^{-}\)molecular geometry is linear. While there are three iodine atoms, one of the atoms has a negative charge which further gives 3 lone pairs of electrons and 2 bond pairs. Hence, the correct option is (b).
