Consider the following reactions:
`MX_(4)+X'_(2) to MX_(4)X_(2)'`
If atomic number of M is 52 and X and X' are halogens and X' is more electonegative than X. Then choose the correct statement regarding the given information:

A

Both X' atoms occupy axial positions which are formed by overlaping of p and d-orbitals only

B

All M-X bond lengths are identical in both `MX_(4) and MX_(4)X'_(2)` compounds

C

Central atom 'M' does not use anyone valence non-axial set of d-orbitals in hybridization of final product

D

Hybridization of central atom 'M' remains same in both reactant and final product

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`MX_(2)+X._(2) to MX_(4)X._(2)` (M=Te)
`to` Hybridisation of `Te: sp^(3)d^(2)(sp_(x)p_(y)p_(z)d_(x^(2)-y^(2))d_(x^(2)))`
`to` Axial position are formed by hybrid orbitals
`to` All M-X bond lengths are identical
`to` Hybridisation of `Te: sp^(3)d(sp_(x)p_(y)+p_(x)d_(x^(2)))`
``to` All M-X bond lengths are not identical

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 of the following statement is wrong for interhalogen ?
