1 point
six iodine atoms and two fluorine atoms
seven iodine atoms and one fluorine atom
one iodine atom and seven fluorine atoms
two iodine atoms and six fluorine atoms

Answer 1

Molecular composition of iodine heptafluoride is one iodine atom and seven fluorine atoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecular formula of iodine heptafluoride is
`IF_(7)` and it is also known as Iodine (VII)fluoride.

According to the VSEPR theory,The geometry of the iodine heptafluoride is "petagonal bipyrmidal."

From the molecular formula of iodine heptafluoride has seven atoms of fluorine and only one atom of iodine.

Therefore, the molecular composition of iodine heptafluoride is one iodine atom and seven fluorine atoms.
