Why `KHF_(2)` exist but `KHCl_(2)` and `KHBr_(2)` does not?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why \( KHF_2 \) exists while \( KHCl_2 \) and \( KHBr_2 \) do not, we need to analyze the bonding and structural characteristics of these compounds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Ions in the Compounds**: - For \( KHF_2 \), the ions present are \( K^+ \) and \( HF_2^- \). - For \( KHCl_2 \), the ions would be \( K^+ \) and \( HCl_2^- \). - For \( KHBr_2 \), the ions would be \( K^+ \) and \( HBr_2^- \). ...
