The correct statement for the molecule, `CsI_(3)` is

Options

A. It contains`Cs^(+), I^(-)` and lattice `I_2` molecule
B. It is a covalent molecule.
C. It contains `Cs^(+)` and `I_(3)^(-)` ions
D. It contains `Cs^(3+) and I^(-) ions `.

Answer

C

Explanation

Cs cannot show +3 oxidation state . Therefore , `CsI_3 ` contains `Cs^(+) and I_3^(-) `ions .
