How many halogens can form a compound of type khx2 ?
HF
Hydrogen fluoride is an associated molecule and can be represented by H2F2. This is due to the fact that strong hydrogen bonding exist between the molecules. (as F is highly electronegative element)
H2F2 + KF ---> KHF2 + HF
Answer:
Only one halogen can form a compound of type KHX2
Explanation:
HF can form compound of type KHX₂ due to the highest electronegativity of fluorine exists as a result of a strong hydrogen bond by which K⁺ associates to form KHF₂. Hence only one halogen can form a KHX₂.
An associated chemical is hydrogen fluoride, abbreviated H2F2. Strong hydrogen bonds between the molecules are to blame for this. (Due to F's high electronegative nature)
H2F2 + KF ---> KHF2 + HF
Halogen compounds called interhalogen compounds are created when the halogens interact. In general, interhalogen compounds have the formula XYn, where n is one of the numbers 1, 3, 5, or 7, and X is the less electronegative of the two halogens.
Inter halogen compounds are those created when two distinct halogens come together. In a compound called an interhalogen, there can never be more than two different kinds of halogen atoms.
