Heavier halide is oxidised by lighter halogen. Justify. |
|
Answer» Solution :The oxidation ABILITY of HALOGENS is in the order : `F_(2)gtCl_(2)gtBr_(2)gtI_(2)`. Lighter halogen is a stroger oxidant .Heavier halide is less stable , acts as a reducing AGENT and is easily oxidised . The reaction that is easily POSSIBLE amonghalides and halogens is , `2I^(-)+F_(2)to2F^(-)+I_(2)` |
