Question

Answer the following questions:

1. Explain interhalogen compounds.

2. How is oxygen prepared from the following compound?
$KCl{O}_4$

Answer 1

Interhalogen compounds:
Interhalogen compounds are the compounds which contains two or more different halogen atoms and no other elements from any other group.

Some of the interhalogen compounds are $ClF,Cl{F}_3,I{F}_5,I{F}_7$

Generally larger atom combines with other halogens having smaller atomic size.

Oxygen prepared by following reaction.
$KCl{O}_{4\left(s\right)}\to KC{l}_{\left(s\right)}+2O_{2\left(g\right)}$.
