Question
Which of the following is not the characteristic of interhalogen compounds?
Options
A.They are covalent
B.More reactive than halogens
C.have low B.P. and high volatile
D.quite unstable but not exlosive
Solution
Interhalogen compounds are covalent in nature. more reactive than halogens because oflow bond energy due to dissimilar size of atoms in molcule .As the molecule becomes a little polar the boiling point increases due to inter-molecular attraction. They are reactive and unstable because of low bond energy.
