Give reason: (i) ICI is more reactive than ` I_2`. (ii) Fluroine exhibit only -1 oxidation state. (iii) H-F is liquid but other hydrogen halides are gases.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Bond dissociation enthalpy of I-Cl is less than that of I-I bond. Hence I-CI bond can be broken easily. (ii) due to high electronegativity and absence of d-orbitals. (iii) due to strong hydrogen bonding.
