💡 Solution & Explanation
In general, interhalogen compounds are more reactive than halogens (except fluorine). This is because X–X′ bond in interhalogens is weaker than X–X bond in halogens except F–F bond. All these undergo hydrolysis giving halide ion derived from the smaller halogen and a hypohalite (when XX′), halite (when XX′3), halate (when XX′5) and perhalate (when XX′7) anion derived from the larger halogen.
