Use lewis structures to explain why br3- and i3- are stable, while f3- is not

If you sketch a Lewis dot structure of I3-, you'll perceive that the center I atom formulates two bonds, and also has three non-bonding pairs of electrons. That's an over-all of five electron pairs - beyond an octet. Lots of compounds disrupt the octet rule that means, but the first long-row elements like F can't because the lower elements like iodine can use an obtainable d-orbital to house the additional pair of electrons (sp3d hybridization), but F just doesn't have a d-orbital that it can use.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
