NEET2016Chemistryp Block Elements (Group 15, 16, 17 & 18)Actual
Consider the reaction, H ₂+X₂ 2 H X , where X is halogen. The reactivity of halogens decrease in the order of
Options
- ACl ₂ F ₂ Br ₂ I ₂
- BI ₂ Br ₂ F ₂ Cl ₂
- CF ₂ Cl ₂ Br ₂ I ₂
- DI ₂ Br ₂ Cl ₂ F ₂
Correct answer
C. F ₂ Cl ₂ Br ₂ I ₂
Step-by-step solution
H - H + X - X 2 HX , where X= halogen. The correct decreasing order of reactivity of halogen molecule towards H ₂ is F ₂ Cl ₂ Br ₂ I ₂ .
