Question

Compare hydrogen and halogen on the basis of: reaction with oxygen

Open in App

Solution

Hydrogen Halogens

Hydrogen forms its oxide (water) which is a neutral oxide.

Reaction: ${2 H}_{2}$ + $O_{2}$ → ${2 H}_{2} O$

Halogens (F, Cl etc.) are non metallic in nature. So, halogens form acidic oxide.

Reaction: ${2 C l}_{2}$ + $O_{2}$ → ${2 C l}_{2} O$
