Iodine forms I_(3)^(-) but F_(2) does not form F_(3)^(-) ions. Why ?

Answer»

Solution :`I_(2)` , because of the presence of vacant d-orbitals, `I_(2)` ACCEPTS electrons from `I^(-)` ions to FORM `I_(3)^(-)` ions but `F_(2)` because of the absence of d-orbitals does not accept electrons from `F^(-)` ions to form `F_(3)^(-)` ions.
