Given below are two statements: Statement I: Chlorine can easily combine with oxygen to from oxides: and the product has a tendency to explode. Statement II: Chemical reactivity of an element can be determined by its reaction with oxygen and halogens. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Options

  1. ABoth the statements I and II are true
  2. BStatement I is true but Statement II is false
  3. CStatement I is false but Statement II is true
  4. DBoth the Statements I and II are false

Correct answer

A. Both the statements I and II are true

Step-by-step solution

Chlorine oxides, Cl 2 O ,   ClO 2 ,   Cl 2 O 6 and Cl 2 O 7 are highly reactive oxidising agents and tend to explode. Chemical reactivity of an element can be determined by its reaction with oxygen and halogens.
