Question:
The correct statement for the molecule CsI3 is that:
it contains Cs3+ and I− ions
it contains Cs+, I− and lattice I2 molecule
it is a covalent molecule
it contains Cs+ and I3− ions
Solution:
CsI3 → Cs+ + I3− → Cs cannot show +3 oxidation state. → I2 molecules are too large to be accommodated in the lattice. Hence, the correct option is D
