Given below are two statements: Statement I: Chlorine can easily combine with oxygen to form oxides; and the product has a tendency to explode. Statement II: Chemical reactivity of an element can be determined by its reaction with oxygen and halogens. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Question

Given below are two statements: Statement I: Chlorine can easily combine with oxygen to form oxides; and the product has a tendency to explode. Statement II: Chemical reactivity of an element can be determined by its reaction with oxygen and halogens. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below (A) Both the Statements I and II are false (B) Both the Statements I and II are true (C) Statement I is false but Statement II is true (D) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Chlorine oxides, Cl 2 O , ClO 2, Cl 2 O 6 and Cl 2 O 7 are highly reactive oxidising agents and tend to explode.

Both the Statements I and II are false

Both the Statements I and II are true

Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Chlorine oxides, Cl2​O,ClO2​,Cl2​O6​ and Cl2​O7​ are highly reactive oxidising agents and tend to explode.

Chlorine oxides, $C l_{2} O, Cl O_{2}, C l_{2} O_{6}$ and $C l_{2} O_{7}$ are highly reactive oxidising agents and tend to explode.
