Interhalogen compounds are more reactive than the individual halogens because

A

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1

B

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 are correct but statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1

C

Statement-1 is correct, but statement-2 is False.

D

Statement-1 is False, but Statement-2 is correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
X-Y is polar due to difference in their electronegativities where as X-X bond is non-polar. In X-Y, X is bigger halogen so X-Y bond length is bigger and thus weaker as compared to X-X bond.

(a) (i) Why PCl_(5) gives fumes in moisture ? (ii) Why Interhalogens are more reactive than pure halogens ? (b) Draw the structures of the following : {:((i) PCl_(5), (ii)H_(2)S_(2)O_(8),(iii)XeF_(4)):}

Why is ICI more reactive than I_2 ?

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 ?
