\mathrm{\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{I}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_6 \rightarrow \mathrm{ICl}_{\mathrm{n}}^{+}+\mathrm{ICl}_{6-\mathrm{n}}^{-}\\\\ &\mathrm{ICl}_{\mathrm{n}}^{+}: \frac{\mathrm{N}}{2}=4=\frac{7+n-1}{2}=\frac{6+n}{2}\\\\ &8=6+n, n=2 \end{aligned}}

\mathrm{\therefore \quad \text { Cation is } \mathrm{ICl}_2^{+} \text {and anion is } \mathrm{ICl}_4 \text {. }}
