1.

Statement-1:All halogens except F_2 are more reactive than interhalogens. Statement-2: Bond in the interhalogens (X-Y) is weaker than X-X bond in the halogens.

Answer»

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct EXPLANATION for Statement-1
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 are correct but statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1
Statement-1 is correct, but statement-2 is False.
Statement-1 is False, but Statement-2 is correct.

Solution :X-Y is polar due to difference in their electronegativities where as X-X BOND is non-polar. In X-Y, X is BIGGER HALOGEN so X-Y bond length is bigger and thus weaker as compared to X-X bond.
