Vedclass · Answer

(B) The $ICl_{4}^{-}$ ion has a square planar geometry with $sp^{3}d^{2}$ hybridization.There are $4$ bond pairs ($I-Cl$ bonds) and $2$ lone pairs on the central iodine atom.The two lone pairs occupy the axial positions (above and below the plane).Each lone pair is at a $90^{o}$ angle to all $4$ bond pairs in the square plane.Therefore,the total number of bond pair-lone pair repulsions at $90^{o}$ is $2 	imes 4 = 8$.

In $ICl_{4}^{-}$,the shape is square planar. The number of bond pair-lone pair repulsions at $90^{o}$ are
