Write on the electropositivity of iodine.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

All halogens are non-metals. Iodine is also a non-metal. However, iodine shows certain electrpositivity.
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. `NalO_(3)` is its mineral.
lodine is the only halogen uses three d-orbitals for hybridisation, spid in `IF_(7)`.
