उत्तर
Lewis’s concept of the structure of molecules deals with the relative position of atoms in the molecules and sharing of electron pairs between them. However, we cannot predict the shape of the molecule using Lewis concept. Lewis theory in combination with VSEPR theory will be useful in predicting the shape of molecules.
IF7:
Iodine has 7 valence electrons in the valence shell. In an excited state it has 6 valency electrons by 1st and 2nd excited state & under sp3d2, hybridization and combines with 7 Fluorine to get pentagonal bipyramidal shape. There are no lone pairs.
I = ns2 np5 nd0
pentagonal bipyramidal
SF6:
Sulphar attain six valence electron in 1st and 2nd excited states undergoes sp3d2 hybridization and combines with six ‘F’ atoms, as there no lone pair electrons it geometry in octahedral.
S = 16 = ns2 np4 nd0
Octahedral
