Given information

Here we have been given an ion    and we need to draw the lewis structure for the same.

The iodine located in the center of the molecule   is equipped with total  electrons around it. Thus, the atom of iodine has an expanded octet.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

We have  , which contains no. of atoms per molecule as, one atom of iodine and five atoms of fluorine.

The no. of valence electrons in each atom of iodine =      

The no. of valence electrons in each atom of fluorine=    

Total no. of valence electrons in molecule
