Fex 2 and Fey 3 are known when x and y are :

Options

  1. Ax = F , Cl , Br , I and y = F , Cl , Br
  2. Bx = F , Cl , Br and y = F , Cl , Br , I
  3. Cx = Cl , Br , I and y = F , Cl , Br , I
  4. Dx = F , Cl , Br , I and y = F , Cl , Br , I

Correct answer

A. x = F , Cl , Br , I and y = F , Cl , Br

Step-by-step solution

2 FeI 3 Unstable ⟶ 2 FeI 2 Stable + I 2 Due to strong reducing nature of I - 2 Fe 3 + + 2 I - ⟶ 2 Fe 2 + + I 2 remaining halides of Fe 2 + and Fe 3 + are stable.
