Question

Which of the following halogens does not form oxyacids at room temperature?
  1. F2
  2. Br2
  3. Cl2
  4. I2

A
F2
B
Cl2
C
I2
D
Br2
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Fluorine does not hove d-sub shell so it can only have one oxidation state. Therefore, it cann't form oxy acids. Fluorine is the most electronegative element and always show 1 oxiadation state. In oxyacids. reast of the halogens have positive oxidation state.

Q2
Consider the following orders –
(1) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2: boiling point
(2) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2: oxidizing nature
(3) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2: EN
(4) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2: BDE
(5) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2: EA
(6) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2: Reactivity
(7) HOCl>HClO2>HClO3>HClO4: Acidic nature
(8) HOCl>HClO2>HClO3>HClO4: Oxidizing nature
Then calculate (x2+y2) when x is correct order and y is incorrect order.
