Which of the following interhalogen compound does not exist?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Reactivity of halogens towards other halogens: Halogens combine amongst themselves to form a number of compounds known as interhalogens of the types XX′, XX'3, XX'5 and XX'7 where X is a larger size halogen and X′ is smaller size halogen.
BrF2 cannot be formed as it does not lie in the general formula XX', XX'3, XX'5 and XX'7.
