Question
A.) What is the electron geometry of IF5? B.) What is the molecular geometry of IF5? C.) Ignoring lone-pair effects, what is the smallest bond angle in IF5?
lodine pentafluoride, IFS, is sometimes used as a
fluorination agent and is highly oxidative. It reacts
vigorously with water to form hydrofluoric acid.
Clearly one would like to know quite a bit about the
chemical nature of this compound to predict how it
might behave when used as a fluorination agent.
Therefore, to answer the questions in this problem,
you will need to draw the Lewis structure of iodine
pentafluoride.
