X for I3-=(1/2)[7+2-0+1]=5 X= Total no. of electron pairs around central atom Hybridisation of I in I3- is s p3 d. Thus I3- has trigonal bipyramidal geometry with linear shape.

Q. The geometrical arrangement of electron pairs and shape of $I_{3}^{-}$ are respectively

trigonal bipyramidal geometry, linear shape

hexagonal geometry, T-shape

triangular planar geometry, triangular shape

tetrahedral geometry, pyramidal shape

$X$ for $I_{3}^{-} = \frac{1}{2} [7 + 2 - 0 + 1] = 5$ $X =$ Total no. of electron pairs around central atom Hybridisation of $I$ in $I_{3}^{-}$ is $s p^{3} d$ . Thus $I_{3}^{-}$ has trigonal bipyramidal geometry with linear shape.
