Urgent - Iodite
« on: January 20, 2009, 07:37:09 PM »
How would you go about drawing the structure of Iodite (IO\2^-)?

Does I take the floating electron or does one of the O's take it?

I just cant get it to work out!

Thanks!

The more electronegativity takes the electron.

Ok so one of the O's take it and bonds to the only electron not in a lone pair on I. 

then what happens with the other O?  does it double bond to I? and if so where?

Yes the other oxygen atom is double bonded to I.
