Give the formula and describe the structure of a noble gas species which is isostructural with:
(a) ICl4–,    (b) IBr2–,    (c) BrO3–   

Answer

isostructural can be defined as having the same crystal structure but not necessarily a similar chemical composition.

(a) ICl4– = XeF4


(b) IBr2– =XeF2


(c) BrO3–=XeO3
