The interhalogen compound formed from the reaction of bromine with excess of fluorine is a

Step-by-step solution

The interhalogen compounds can be prepared by the direct combination or by the action of halogen on lower interhalogen compounds. The product formed depends upon some specific conditions, For e.g., Br 2 + 3 F 2 → 2 BrF 3 diluted   with   water Br 2 + 5 F 2 → 2 BrF 5 excess BrF 5 + 3 H 2 O → HBrO 3 + 5 HF HBrO 3 is bromic acid, hence, the salt is bromate. And interhalogen compound is called halate.
