Interhalogen compounds are formed when two halogens ( F , Cl , Br , I ) react together. They are represented by XX _n^ , where X is halogen of larger size and X ^ of smaller size. The total number of halogens in XX _n^ depends on the radii of X and X ^ . The correct statement(s) regarding XX _n^ is/are
Options
- AHalide ions reacts with interhalogen compounds to give polyhalides.
- BInterhalogen compounds are covalent in nature and more reactive than halogens, in general.
- CIodine can form an interhalogen compound containing maximum numbers of halogen atoms.
- DFCl ₃ is one of the stable interhalogen compounds.
