Answer:

Please find attached the completed Lewis dot diagram structure for PI₂F

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of valence electrons are;

Phosphorus = 5 Electrons

Iodine = 2 × 7 electrons = 14 electrons

Chlorine = 7 electrons

The total number of valence electrons = 14 + 7 + 5 = 26 electrons

2) We draw the symbol that represents the basic (general) structure of the molecule as follows;

The sheared electron pair are represented by single bond lines

3) We complete the octet structures round the fluorine and the iodine atoms as attached showing 18 electrons plus 6 shared electron pairs, with a maximum from step 2 to give a total of (18 + 6) 24 electron pairs

4) We add the 2 unaccounted valence electron on the phosphorus atom to give it the stable octet structure, which gives the completed Lewis structure
