The ion ICl4- is called tetrachloroiodate(1-) ion.
The ICl4- ion has 36 valence electrons. Iodine contributes 7 valence electrons and each chlorine atom contributes 7 valence electrons, totaling 36 valence electrons in the ICl4- ion.
First off, ICl4 doesn't really exist. It should be ICl4- as the lone electron on Iodine (the central atom) will instantly pull another electron to itself to make a lone pair. Therefore iodine has two lone pairs and four elemental bonds (one to each chlorine). Since we have six total bonds (including the lone pairs) the geometrical shape will be octahedral. However, since, the lone pairs repel each other they will go to the top and bottom of the structure, making ICl4 square planar. So no, it is not bent per se, but it does deviate from the expected shape of ICl4 (3+) (which would be trigonal bipyramidal) because of the lone pairs.

XeF4 is isostructural with ICl4. Both compounds have a square planar molecular geometry with bond angles of 90 degrees and are considered isostructural due to their similar arrangement of atoms in the molecule.
True. A common ion is an ion that is found in more than one ionic compound. These ions are shared among different compounds, which can affect their solubility and reactivity in solutions.
The electronic configuration of sulfur ion (S)2- is: 1s22s22p63s23p6.

ICl4 is not tetrahedral because it has a total of six electron domains, resulting in a square planar molecular geometry. In a square planar shape, the four chlorine atoms and one lone pair of electrons are positioned at the corners of a square around the central iodine atom.
