Question

which of the following is not characteristic of interhalogen compounds?

• A. They are more reactive than halogens.
• B. They are covalent in nature.
• C. They have low boiling point and are non-volatile.
• D. they are diamagnetic.

Answer 1

The correct option is C They have low boiling point and are non-volatile.

Inter-halogen compounds have molecules that are covalent and diamagnetic in nature. The bonds formed more reactive than diatomic halogen bonds. They are volatile but not explosive. they have low boiling point.
