I is group 17 with seven valence electrons; two are used to form the two I:Cl bonds and one is removed to give the ve charge this leaves 4 electrons or two lone pairs. This is an AX2E2 system so yes the
electron pair geometry is tetrahedral; the molecular shape (ignore lone pairs) is bent (V shaped).
