Question

IF is formed but not ClF7 .
give reason

Answer 1

Explanation:

ClF7 doesn't exist because chlorine is a smaller atom as compared to iodine, so it cannot “pack” the seven fluorine atoms around itself due to expulsion between the electron clouds of F atoms. You are probably mistaken with your question. IF7 exists and CLF7 doesn't.
