The geometry of \(I_{3}^{-}\) is
- A triangular
- B linear
- C tetrahedral
- D T-shape
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) linear
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{I}_{3}^{-}\) ion is \(s p^{3} d\) -hybridised. Due to the presence of two lone pair of electrons its geometry becomes linear instead of trigonal bipyramidal.
