What is the Lewis dot diagram structure for PI2F

Please find attached the completed Lewis dot diagram structure for PI₂F

Explanation:

The number of valence electrons are;

Phosphorus = 5 Electrons

Iodine = 2 × 7 electrons = 14 electrons

Chlorine = 7 electrons

The total number of valence electrons = 14 + 7 + 5 = 26 electrons

2) We draw the symbol that represents the basic (general) structure of the molecule as follows;

The sheared electron pair are represented by single bond lines

3) We complete the octet structures round the fluorine and the iodine atoms as attached showing 18 electrons plus 6 shared electron pairs, with a maximum from step 2 to give a total of (18 + 6) 24 electron pairs

4) We add the 2 unaccounted valence electron on the phosphorus atom to give it the stable octet structure, which gives the completed Lewis structure

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
