The correct shape and $I - I - I$ bond angles respectively in $I_{3}^{-}$ ion are:

Answer:

Solution:

The central iodine atom undergoes ${sp}^{3} d$ hybridization and has 3 lone pairs of electrons and 2 bond pairs of electrons.

Thus, $I_{3}^{-}$ has trigonal bipyramidal geometry and linear shape .

Shape : Linear, I-I-I Bond angle $\Rightarrow 180 °$
