Lewis Structures

I have been struggling with this question for an hour now. I only have two attempts remaining and I started out with ten.


Draw the Lewis structure of IF₂O₂⁻ (with minimized formal charges).

Remember fluorine can never be the central atom
I here is the central atom
I can make maximum 7 bonds but here it is making two double bonds with two oxygen atoms and two with two fluorine atoms.
Still two electrons are left and where they will go??
Try it now..
