The oxides of chlorine, bromine and iodine are well known. They have various compositions. The oxides of chlorine are thermally unstable and dangerously explosive. They react with alkali. The bromine oxides are thermally more stable than chlorine oxides. The structure of halogen oxides is explained on the basis of VSEPR theory.
The structure of Cl2O7 is O3Cl−O−ClO3 The Cl - O-Cl bond angle is:
Which oxide of chlorine is colourless?
why is fluorine more electronegative than chlorine,bromine and iodine?
