Answer:
Interhalogen compounds are covalent in nature. More reactive than halogens because of low bond energy due to dissimilar size of atoms in molecule. As the molecule becomes a little polar the boiling point increases due to inter-molecular attraction. They are reactive and unstable because of low bond energy.

the characteristics of interhalogen compounds are -
- the inter halogen compounds are those compounds that contain two or more halogen atoms and does not have any other element.
- they are covalent in nature and more reactive in nature than the halogens itself. this is because of the low bond energy.
- examples - bromine trifluoride, iodine pentafluoride, etc.
catalytic properties of transition elements are -
- these elements have vacant d-orbitals.
- these elements show variable valency.
- they also form complex compounds.
