Halogens react with each other to form a...

Halogens react with each other to form a number of compounds called interalogen compounds. Their genral formula is `AX_(n)`, where A is less electronegative halogen while X is a more electronegative halogen and n is its number. The interhalogen compounds are essentially convalent and more reactive than the halogens since the bond A-X is weaker than A-A or X-X bond. The reaction of interhalogens are similar to those of halogens.
Which of the following interhalogen compound is not possible ?

A

`IF_(7)`

B

`IF_(5)`

C

`CIF_(3)`

D

`FBr_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`F` due to absence of d-orbital in its valence shell cannot have coordination number greater than `1`.
