An explanation of the molecular geometry for the IF4 - ion  including a description of the IF4 - bond angles. The electron geometry for the is also provided.

The ideal bond angle for the is 90° since it has a Square planar molecular geometry. Experimentally we would expect the bond angle to be approximately 90°.

To determine the molecular geometry, or shape for a compound like IF4 - , we complete the following steps:

1) Draw the Lewis Structure for the compound.
2) Predict how the atoms and lone pairs will spread out when the repel each other.
3) Use a chart based on steric number (like the one in the video) or use the AXN notation to find the molecular shape. This will be determined by the number of atoms and lone pairs attached to the central atom.
If you are trying to find the electron geometry for IF4 - we would expect it to be Octahedral.
