Liquid I₂ Cl₆ has the structure (a)

B.[ICl₂]+[ICl₄]–✓ Correct

C.monometric

D.None of these

Explanation

The liquid 2 6 I Cl exist as 2 4 [ ] [ ] ICl ICl (ionic state) In 2 ICl iodine is in 3 sp hybridization with 2 lone pairs. The geometry is tetrahedral and shape is angular / bent. In 4 ICl the hybridization is 3 2 sp d with 2 lone pairs. The geometry is trigonalbipyramidal and shape is square planar. Thus, the correct option is (b)
