Answer 2

b. ClF3 is an inter-halogen compound.

Explanation:

• An interhalogen compound is a molecule that contains two or more separate halogen atoms like fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, or astatine and no atoms of any other group of elements.

• Most known interhalogen compounds are binary which composed of only two distinct components.

Properties of inter-halogen compounds

• The larger halogen always serves as center atom.

• Bonds formed are covalent.

• They are strong oxidizing agents.

• hydrolysis of these compounds always produce halide ion from smaller halogen and oxy halide from bigger halogen.

• As the size difference decreases, polarity increases and stability decreases.
