The decreasing order of stability of oxides of halogen is
- A fluorine \(>\) chlorine \(>\) iodine \(>\) bromine
- B fluorine \(>\) chlorine \(>\) bromine \(>\) iodine
- C iodine \(>\) bromine \(>\) chlorine \(>\) fluorine
- D iodine \(>\) chlorine \(>\) bromine \(>\) fluorine
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) iodine \(>\) chlorine \(>\) bromine \(>\) fluorine
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In oxides of halogen, the bonds are mainly covalent due to small difference in electronegativity between the halogens and oxygen. The bond polarity, however, increases as we move from \(F\) to \(I\). The stability of oxides of iodine is greater than those of chlorine, while…
