Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why FeI₃ (ferric iodide) is not stable, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Components FeI₃ consists of iron (Fe) in the +3 oxidation state (Fe³⁺) and iodide ions (I⁻). ### Step 2: Analyze the Size and Properties of Iodide Ion Iodide ions (I⁻) are relatively large and have a high tendency to lose electrons. This characteristic makes them good reducing agents. ...
