Iodine exists as a diatomic molecule, I2, with a linear shape and a bond angle of 180 degrees.
Iodine trichloride (ICl3) is a T-shaped molecular structure. It consists of three chlorine atoms bonded to a central iodine atom, with bond angles of about 90 degrees.
Ionic bond forms between cesium and iodine. Cesium donates an electron to iodine, creating positively charged cesium ions and negatively charged iodine ions, which are attracted to each other to form the bond.
A covalent bond is formed between phosphorus and iodine. In this type of bond, the atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
A covalent bond is formed between fluoride and iodine. This bond involves sharing of electron pairs between the two atoms.
The NO2^- ion is expected to have a bent shape due to its trigonal planar molecular geometry with a lone pair on the nitrogen atom, which causes repulsion that distorts the bond angles. This results in a bent molecular shape with a bond angle of approximately 134 degrees.
