Lewis structure of a water molecule. Lewis structures – also called Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures (LEDs) – are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.

Chemical element with atomic number 53 (I) Iodine, 53 I Iodine Pronunciation / ˈ aɪ ə d aɪ n, - d ɪ n, - d iː n / (EYE -ə-dyne, -din, -deen) Appearance lustrous metallic gray solid, black ...
The Wijs solution, iodine monochloride dissolved in acetic acid, is used to determine the iodine value of a substance. It can also be used to prepare iodates, by reaction with a chlorate. Chlorine is released as a byproduct. Iodine monochloride is a Lewis acid that forms 1:1 adducts with Lewis bases such as dimethylacetamide and benzene.
Thus when iodine is ligated to an organic residue and two Lewis acids, it is in the +3 oxidation state and the corresponding compound is a λ 3 ‑iodane. A compound with iodine(V) would be a λ 5 ‑iodane, and a hypothetical iodine(VII)‑containing compound would be a λ 7 ‑iodane.
The most common Lewis bases are anions. The strength of Lewis basicity correlates with the pK a of the parent acid: acids with high pK a 's give good Lewis bases. As usual, a weaker acid has a stronger conjugate base. Examples of Lewis bases based on the general definition of electron pair donor include: simple anions, such as H − and F −
The following exergonic equilibrium gives rise to the triiodide ion: . I 2 + I − ⇌ I − 3. In this reaction, iodide is viewed as a Lewis base, and the iodine is a Lewis acid.The process is analogous to the reaction of S 8 with sodium sulfide (which forms polysulfides) except that the higher polyiodides have branched structures.
Iodine trichloride is an interhalogen compound of iodine and chlorine. It is bright yellow but upon time and exposure to light it turns red due to the presence of elemental iodine. In the solid state is present as a planar dimer I 2 Cl 6, with two bridging Cl atoms. [1]
