The stability of the halides of group 16 elements decreases in the order

Options

A. `Br^(-)gtI^(-)gtCl^(-)gtF^(-)`
B. `F^(-)gtI^(-)gtCl^(-)gtBr^(-)`
C. `F^(-)Cl^(-)gtBr^(-)gtI^(-)`
D. `I^(-)Cl^(-)gtBr^(-)gtF^(-)`

Answer

C

Explanation

Elements of group 16 from a large number of halides of the type `EX_(6),EX_(4) and EX_(2)` , Where E is an element of the group and X is a halogen . `F^(-) gtCl^(-)gtBr^(-)ltl^(-)`
