`ICI_7` does not exist while `IF_7` exist. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`I Cl_7` does not exist because of stearic factors, although iodine can accommodate seven F atoms to form pentagonal bipyramidal `IF_7`. But it cannot accommodate seven large size Cl atoms. Therefore it does not form `I Cl_7`.
