Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) ClF

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Thermal stability of interhalogen compounds decreases in the order:
\(\mathrm{ClF}\gt\mathrm{ICl}\gt\mathrm{IBr}\gt\mathrm{BrCl}\gt\mathrm{BrF}\)
Hence, the compound having highest thermal stability is ClF .
