Question

.In interhalogen compounds which of the following halogen is never a central atom
a.I
b.cl
c.Br
d.F​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is

option D :- F

Explanation:

Fluorine (F)is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is Option D : $F$

Explanation:

Fluorine is the halogen that will never be the central atom in an interhalogen compound.

We know that $F$ shows anomalous behaviour.

Reasons for selecting $F$ as the answer:

1. Size of $F$ is the smallest among halogens.
2. High electronegativity.
3. Absence of vacant d-orbital

Electronegativity:

The tendency of an atom of a certain chemical element to draw shared electrons when forming a chemical bond is known as electronegativity.
