By the early 1890s, the Pinkerton National Detective Agency employed more agents than there were members of the United States Army.
Iodine monochloride is the chemical compound with the formula ICl. It is a red-brown compound that melts near room temperature. Because of the difference in the electronegativity of iodine and chlorine, ICl is highly polar and behaves as a source of I+. Â»
Actually it is iodine dichloride ion (ICl2-) whcih is formed b/w Iodide ion and two chlorine atoms. There are 7 + (2x7) + 1 = 22 valence electrons.The Lewis structure will have a linear geometry with 3 lone pairs are present on Iodine along with two single covalent bonds with chlorine on both sides. [Cl(7 e+e)----I----Cl(7e+e) ]^- Just a rough sketch plz comprehend it. I hope you'll get it. Best wishes!
