What is the Lewis structure for iodine

1 Answer

5 votes
Iodine is below Period Two on the periodic table so it can have an expanded octet (hold more than eight valence electrons). In the Lewis structure for IF5 you'll need to put a total of 12 valence electrons on the Iodine atom in order to draw the Lewis structure.
