Question

The correct shape and $I-I-I$ bond angles respectively in $I _{3}^{-}$ ion are :-

• A. Distorted trigonal planar; $135^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$
• B. T-shaped; $180^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$
• C. Trigonal planar; $120^{\circ}$
• D. Linear; $180^{\circ}$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Shape : Linear, I-I-I Bond angle $\Rightarrow 180^{\circ}$
