Question
The incorrect statement is: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 (A) Cl is more reactive than ClF (B) F is more reactive than ClF (C) On hydrolysis CIF froms HOCl and HF. (D) F , is a stronger oxidizing agent than Cl in aqueous solution
Answer: C) ON HYDROLYSIS CIF FROMS HOCL AND HF.
💡 Solution & Explanation
(a) and (b): 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. Thus, reactivity order: F > ClF (inter halogen) > Cl (c) CIF + H O → HOCl + HF (d) Oxidizing power in aqueous solution: F > Cl > Br > I
