Detailed Solution

  • In IBr2-, the two bromine atoms are present in the axial positions of the iodine and the 3 lone pairs occupy the equatorial positions, forming a linear shape. And in case of BrO3-bromine is the central atom to which three oxygen atoms are doubly bonded and 1 lone pair is present, giving it a pyramidal geometry.
  • The fluoride of xenon that has linear structure is XeF2 having two bond pair and three lone pair of electrons which is similar to IBr2-. The oxide of xenon that has pyramidal geometry is XeO3, containing three bond pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons which is similar to that of BrO3-.
