Question

IF7 is known to exist while BrF7 does not exist. The reason is (A) stability of higher oxidation state increases with the size (B)  Br is more electronegative than I  (C)  Br cannot gain 7 electrons (D)  I can easily react with F

Correct answer is (a) stability of higher oxidation state increases with the size

Q. $I F_{7}$ is known to exist while $B r F_{7}$ does not exist. The reason is

stability of higher oxidation state increases with the size

$B r$ is more electronegative than $I$

$B r$ cannot gain $7$ electrons

$I$ can easily react with $F$

Correct answer is (a) stability of higher oxidation state increases with the size
