Question

Why are interhalogen compounds more reactive then halogen atoms?

Answer 1

Interhalogen compounds are more reactive than halogen atoms because of the bond between the two halogens in an interhalogen compound,it can be easily broken due to the polar nature of the bond.

note- interhalogens are more reactive than halogens except fluorine

hope this helps you

Answer 2

The inter halogens are generally more reactive than halogens except F. This is because A-X bonds in interhalogens are weaker than the X-X bonds in dihalogen molecules. Reaction of interhalogens are similar to halogens. Hydrolysis ofinterhalogen compounds give halogen acid and oxy-acid..
