Question
Give the formula and describe the structure of a noble gas species which is isostructural with:
(a) ICl4–, (b) IBr2–, (c) BrO3–
Solution
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
(a) ICl4– = XeF4
(b) IBr2– =XeF2
(c) BrO3–=XeO3
