Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Structure of ICl2− is distorted trigonal pyramidal.
Detailed explanation-2: -As is well knowledge, the structure of ICl2 is known to be linear and to include a lone pair. I here possess seven electrons, and each of the two Cl atoms gives out two electrons, one of which has a negative charge. Therefore, the total of ten electrons in the system.
Detailed explanation-3: -ICl−2 has two bond pairs and three lone pair, so the steric number of central atom I will be = 2+3=5 and the hybridization is sp3d. Hence the geometry is trigonal bipyramidal and shape is linear.
