Which of the following is true about interhalogen compounds?(a) They have unpaired electrons(b) They are highly stable(c) They are diamagnetic(d) They are paramagneticI got this question during a job interview.I'd like to ask this question from P-Block Elements topic in section P-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct choice is (C) They are diamagnetic

To explain I would SAY: INTERHALOGEN compounds are diamagnetic in nature. This is because they have BOND pairs and lone pairs. The A-X bond in interhalogen compounds is much weaker than the X-X bond in halogens, except for the F-F bond.
