Which of the following statements about halogen oxides and their properties is correct?
A
Chlorine oxides are stable and non-reactive oxidising agents.
B
Iodine forms stable oxides in oxidation states above +1.
C
Fluorine oxidises water to oxygen, while chlorine forms hydrohalic acids.
D
All higher oxides of halogens are less stable than lower oxides.
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
Fluorine can oxidise water to produce oxygen, while chlorine and bromine typically react with water to generate hydrohalic and hypohalous acids. This aligns with the reactivity patterns of halogens as discussed in the NCERT context.
