Which of the following statement is true for [IO_{2}F_{2}]^- according to VSEPR theory?

 

Option: 1

The lone pair and two I-O double bonds occupy the equatorial positions of trigonal bipyramid.


Option: 2

It has  sp^{3}d  hybridisation and is T-shaped.


Option: 3

Its structure is analogous to SF_{4}.


Option: 4

VSEPR Theory -

1.  The shape of the molecule is determined by repulsions between all of the electron pairs present in the valence shell.

2.  Order of repulsion 

          lone \:pair-Lone\: pair> Lone\:pair-Bond\:pair> Bond\:pair-bond\:pair

3  Repulsion among the bond pair is directly proportional to the bond order and electronegativity difference between the central atom and the other atom.


Thus, (1) and (3) are both correct

Therefore, Option(4) is correct
