Answer:

Two non bonded electron pairs and four bonded electron pairs

Explanation:

An image of the compound as obtained from chemlibretext is attached to this answer.

The ion ICl4- ion, is an AX4E2 ion. This implies that there are four bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons. As expected, the shape of the ion is square planar since the lone pairs are found above and below the plane of the square. This is clear from the image attached.

The central iodine atom in the ICl4- ion has two (2) nonbonded electron pairs and four (4) bonded electron pairs in its valence shell.

  • An electron can be defined as a subatomic particle whose net electric charge is negative.

  • A valence electron can be defined as an electron in the outer shell that can eventually participate in the formation of a chemical bond.

  • An electron pair is a group of two electrons of a given atom or shared by two different atoms as a chemical bond.

In conclusion, the central iodine atom in the ICl4- ion has two (2) nonbonded electron pairs and four (4) bonded electron pairs in its valence shell.
