Given information

The molecular geometry and make a sketch of each molecule or ion using the bond conventions shown in “Representing Molecular Geometries on Paper.

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 2.

In   central metal atom is iodine. it has an atomic number  and electronic configuration  .

That is it has  valence electron and one negative charge.

so it forms  bond pair and remaining  electron and one negative charge constitute  lone pairs.

so   has square planar molecular geometry.
