Which one of the following is the true covalent oxide of iodine?

A

`I_2O_4`

B

`I_2O_5`

C

`I_2O_7`

D

`I_2O_9`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In general, higher the oxidation state, more is the covalent character of the oxide. `I_2 O_7 and I_2O_9` do not exist. `I_2O_4` is ionic in nature. It is infact iodyl iodate `[IO]^(+) [IO_3]^(-)`. The only covalent oxide of iodine is `I_2O_5`
