Question:

One form of the polyatomic ion I5 has an unusual V -shaped structure: one I atom lies at the point of the V , with a linear chain of two I atoms extending on each side. The bond angles are 88° at the central atom and 180° at the two atoms in the side chains. Draw a Lewis structure for I5 that explains its shape and indicate the hybridization you would assign to each nonterminal atom.
