Account for the following : Two S - O bond lengths in SO_(2) are equal. (ii) Fluorine shows only - 1 oxidation state in its compounds.

Assertion : Interhalogen compounds are more reactive than halogens (except fluorine) Reason : They all undergo hydrolysis giving halide ion derived from the smaller halogen and anion derived from larger halogen.

Account for the following observations (a) AlCl_(3) is a Lewis acid (b) Though fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine yet BF_(3) is a weaker Lewis acid than BCI_(3) (c) PbO_(2) is a stronger oxidising agent than SnO_(2) (d) The +1 oxidation state of thallium is more stable than its +3 state.

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 ?
