Which element from following combines with hydrogen to form a compound with lowest thermal stability?
Options
- AF
- BCl
- CI
- DBr
Correct answer
C. I
Step-by-step solution
The bond dissociation enthalpy of H - X bond decreases in the order: HF HCl HBr HI . Therefore, thermal stability of hydrogen halides also decreases in the order: HF HCl HBr HI Iodine combines with H to form a compound with lowest thermal stability.
