Question

The interhalogen compound not formed is: (A)  ICl  (B)  IF5  (C)  BrF5  (D)  BrCl7

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Compounds formed by reaction of halogens among themselves are called interhalogens. The difference in electro negativities among halogens should be high for formation of interhalogen compounds.

∴ B r C l_{7}

is not formed because difference in electronegativities of

B r

and

Cl

is not so high so as to oxidise Br to

+ 7

state.
