The `CI-O` bond distance in `CIO_(4)^(Θ)` is 144pm What do you conclude about the structure of this ion ?  (b) The `POCI_(3)` molecule has the shape of an irregular tetrahedron with the `P` atom located centrally The `CI-P-CI` angle is found to be `1035^(@)` Give a qualitative explanation for the deviation of this structure from a regular tetrahedron .
