Both are planar species

Vedclass · Answer

(D) For $I^{+}_3$: The central $I$ atom has $2$ bond pairs and $2$ lone pairs. Hybridization is $sp^3$. The geometry is bent,making it a polar species $(\mu 
eq 0)$. It is a planar species.For $I^{-}_3$: The central $I$ atom has $2$ bond pairs and $3$ lone pairs. Hybridization is $sp^3d$. The geometry is linear,making it a non-polar species $(\mu = 0)$. It is a planar species.Comparing both: Both $I^{+}_3$ and $I^{-}_3$ are planar species. Thus,option $D$ is correct.
