NEET Chemistry (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12
Assertion (A): Interhalogen compounds have higher reactivity compared to pure halogens.
Reason (R): Interhalogen compounds have a polar bond due to the difference in electronegativity between the two halogens involved.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Interhalogen compounds are formed by the reaction of two different halogens, resulting in polar bonds due to differing electronegativities, which increases their reactivity compared to pure halogens.
