The structure of `IF_(7)` is

A

Octahedral

B

Pentagonal bipyramidal

C

trigonal bipyramidal

D

Tetrahedral

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

B

The electronic configuration of
`I=[Xe]5s^(2),5p^(6)` hence,

`IF_(7)` shows `sp^(3)d^(3) ` hybridisation . So , its structure is pentagonal bipyramidal.
