Consider the following statements about the oxides of halogens A. At room femperature, \(\mathrm{OF}_2\) is thermally stable B. Order of stability of oxides of halogens is \(\mathrm{I}>\mathrm{Br}>\mathrm{Cl}\) C. \(\mathrm{I}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\) is used in the estimation of \(\mathrm{CO}\) D. \(\mathrm{ClO}_2\) is used as a bleaching agent The correct statement are.

  1. A A \& B only
  2. B A, B \& only
  3. C B \& C only
  4. D A, C \& D only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) A, C \& D only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The thermal stability of \(\mathrm{OF}_2\) at room temperature is due to the small difference between the electro negativities of \(\mathrm{O}\) and \(\mathrm{F}\). The order of stability of the oxides of halogens is \(\mathrm{I}>\mathrm{Cl}>\mathrm{Br}\).…
