Question:
Although the triiodide ion, I3‾, is known to exist in aqueous solutions, the ion is stable in only certain ionic solids. For example, CsI3 is stable with respect to decomposition to CsI and I2, but LiI3 is not stable with respect to LiI and I2. Draw a Lewis structure for the I3‾ ion and suggest a reason why CsI3 is stable with respect to decomposition to the iodide but LiI3 is not.
