Question

Which of the following statement is incorrect about interhalogen compounds?

• A. They are ionic in nature.
• B. They are diamagnetic.
• C. They behave as strong oxidising agent.
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A They are ionic in nature.

Interhalogen compounds are the compounds formed by the two different halogens.But the two different halogens will have similar electronegativity the electrons are shared between halogen atoms so it forms covalent bonds and the compound is covalent compound.They are not ionic in nature.

So the option $A$ is an incorrect statement.

Hence option $A$ is correct.
