In ICl2 (iodine dichloride), the molecular geometry is linear due to the presence of three lone pairs on the iodine atom, which repel the bonding pairs. Consequently, the bond angle between the two chlorine atoms is approximately 180 degrees. This linear arrangement minimizes electron pair repulsion according to VSEPR theory.
