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.
