In the following statements which are incorrect 1) Fluorine compounds are more stable than corresponding chlorine compounds. 2) Fluorine forms oxy salt when it reacts with alkali while other halogens donot. 3) `F_(2)` undergoes disproportionation reaction in the alkaline medium while other halogens donot.

Explain the following: (a) More metal fluorides are ionic in nature than metal chlorides. (b) Perchloric acid is a stronger acid than sulphuric acid. (c ) Fluorine does not undergo disproportionation reactions but other halogens do.

Explain why fluorine shows only +1 oxidation state while other halogens show higher positive oxidation state? Write chemical reaction of action of Cl_2 on excess NH_3

Explain the following : (a) The electron gain enthalpy with negative sign for fluorine is less than for chlorine, still fluorine is a stronger oxidising agent than chlorine. (b) XeF_(2) is linear molecule without a bend. (c) NCl_(3) is an endothermic compound while NF_(3) is an exothermic one.

Which of the following statements are correct? I. Among halogens, radius ratio between iodine and fluorine is maximum. II. Leaving F-F bond, all halogens have weaker X-X bond than X-X' bond in interhalogens. III. Among interhalogen compounds, maximum number of atoms are present in iodine fluoride. IV. Interhalogen compounds are more reactive than halogen compounds. The correct option is

Account for the following : a) Moist SO_(2) decolourises KMnO_(4) solution. b) In general interhalogen compounds are more reactive than halogens (except fluorine). c) Ozone acts as a powerful oxidizing agent

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

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 halogen shows maximum oxidation state in forming interhalogen compound ?
