Answer:

6 F atoms at 6 corners

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of IF6 (-1) is trigonally distorted octahedron. The central iodine atom has 7 valence electrons. It gains one electron from negative charge. Out of 8 electrons, 6 are imvolved in formation of 6 I - F bonds and one lone pair of electrons is present. 6F atoms are present at 6corners of distorted octahedron. The lone pair of electrons distorts the octahedral shape due to electron repulsion.
