Which of the following pairs of compounds is isoelectronic and isostructural ?

  1. TeI2, XeF2
  2. IBr2-, XeF2
  3. IF3, XeF2
  4. BeCl2, XeF2

Answer

(2) IBr2-, XeF2

Solution

XeF2: 2 bond pairs + 3 lone pairs (sp3d) ⇒ linear.

TeI2: 2 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs (sp3) ⇒ bent ⇒ not isostructural.

IBr2-: 2 bond pairs + 3 lone pairs (sp3d) ⇒ linear ⇒ isostructural with XeF2.

IF3: 3 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs ⇒ T-shaped ⇒ not isostructural.

BeCl2: 2 bond pairs, no lone pair (sp) ⇒ linear ⇒ same (linear) shape as XeF2.

Isoelectronic check (total valence electrons):

IBr2-: 7 + 2 7 + 1 = 22; XeF2: 8 + 2 7 = 22 ⇒ isoelectronic.

BeCl2: 2 + 2 7 = 16 ⇒ not isoelectronic with XeF2.

∴ IBr2- and XeF2 are both isoelectronic and isostructural (linear).
