Anyone wanting to know in-depth about a molecule needs to learn about the Lewis Structure. Why is it so necessary to have an idea on this topic? Well, Lewis Structure is the nam… See more

The hybridization of I3 (Triiodide ion) is sp3d. The way we draw the structure of molecular compounds on paper is just a two-dimensional form. The understanding of chemica… See more

If we take another look at the Lewis Structure of the ion I3-, we can easily see that the central iodine has three lone pairs. The lone pairs are positioned equatorially due to repu… See more

I3- is an interesting and difficult molecule to deal with when it comes to chemical bonding. Although the molecular geometry is linear as discussed earlier, the electronic geometry i… See more
