Quizplus · Accepted Answer

- Iodine (I) has 7 valence electrons
- Chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons
- Sulfur (S) has 6 valence electrons
- Each of the 3 Boron (B) atoms have 3 valence electrons each
- The total number of valence electrons = (7 + 7 + 6) + (3 x 3) + (3 x 1) = 42. Therefore, C) is the correct answer.
