MCQ
In $ICl_4^{\circleddash}$, the shape is square planar. The number of bond pair-lone pair  repulsion at $90^o$ are
  • A
    $6$
  • $8$
  • C
    $12$
  • D
    $4$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$8$
b
$ICl _{4}^{-}$ Has square planar shape with $sp ^{3} d ^{2}$ hybridisation. There are 4 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs.

Each lone pair is at a right angle to bond pairs. So total is $2 \times 4=8$
