Give reason for the following : F_(2) is more reaction than ClF_(2) but ClF_(3) is more reactive than Cl_(2).

Answer»


Solution :(i) Fluorine DUE to its small size, HIGH electronegativity and low F-F bondenergy is more reactive than `ClF_(3)`.
(II) While Cl-F BOND in `ClF_(3)` is weaker than Cl-Cl bond in `Cl_(2)` therefore, `ClF_(3)` is more reactive than `Cl_(2)`.
(iii) So these graphite rods are consumed slowly and need to be REPLACED from time - to - time.
