IBr2-

two bond pairs & 3 lone pairs ...

according to bent rule , for SP3d hybridisation

all lone paires should be in equitorial position so as to minimize LP-LP repulsion...

 

if all three lone paires in IBr2- are placed at equitorial position then both Br will be

along axial position so it will be linear structure ...(all atoms lie in a same line)

 

approve my answers if u like ...... for more doubts ask on this forum i wl try to give u the solutions in short tym...
