STANDARD Chemistry Reactivity of Halogens MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium
The incorrect statement is
A
F₂ is a stronger oxidizing agent than Cl₂ in aqueous solution
B
On hydrolysis ClF forms HOCl and HF
C
Cl₂ is more reactive than ClF
D
F₂ is more reactive than ClF
Correct Answer

Detailed Explanation
Generally, interhalogen compounds are more reactive than halogens (except fluorine). ClF is more reactive than Cl₂ because the X-X' bond in interhalogens is weaker than the X-X bond in halogens, except for the F-F bond.
