How are interhalogen compounds formed? What general composition can be assigned to them. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Halogens REACT with each other to form a number of compounds called interhalogen compounds. Their general formula is `XX_(n)` where X is a less electronegative HALOGEN while X' is a more electronegative halogen and n is its number. Depending upon the oxiation state of halogen X (i.e., +1, +3, +5 and +7), these are divided into four types : XX', `XX'_(3), XX'_(5) and XX'_(7)`. |
