Write on the electropositivity of iodine .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

All halogens are non -metals .Iodine is also a nonmetal . However ,iodine shows certain electropositivity.
The `+1` state is more stable for iodine , as evidenced in molten Icl and molten ICN
Only iodine is naturally available in positive oxidation states .`NaIO_(3)` is its mineral .
Iodine is the only halogen uses three d-orbitals for hybridisation `,sp^(3)d^(3)` in `IF_(7)`.
