Question

HCl cannot form H2Cl2, while HF can form H2F2. The reason is (A) Fluorine is more reactive (B) HF is more reactive (C) Fluorine atom is small and can form hydrogen bonds (D) None

More electronegative atom such as N, O and F form hydrogen bonding thus. HCl can’t form but HF can form hydrogen bonding.

Q. $H Cl$ cannot form $H_{2} C l_{2}$ , while $H F$ can form $H_{2} F_{2}$ . The reason is

Fluorine is more reactive

$H F$ is more reactive

Fluorine atom is small and can form hydrogen bonds

None
