Which of the following statements is not true for halogens ? (1) All form monobasic oxyacids.

(a) This is not a true statement since the authority of the rules of the Constitution is much more than that of any other law.  (b) No, it is not correct...

Kössel’s explanation of chemical bonding: Noble gases separate the highly electronegative halogens and the highly electropositive alkali metals. Halogens can form negatively charged ions by gaining an electron. Whereas alkali metals can form positively...

(a) This is not a true statement since the authority of the rules of the Constitution is much more than that of any other law. (b) No, it is not correct...

(d) : All the alkali metals are highly reactive elements since they have a strong tendency to lose the single valence s-electron to form unipositive ions having inert gas configuration....

(d) Interhalogen compounds are not highly volatile

(b) Physical state of iodine is different from other halogens as iodine is solid, bromine is a liquid whereas fluorine and chlorine are gases

(d) (i), (iii) and (iv)

An acid that contains oxygen is called oxoacid. Electronegativity of the central atom and the number of oxygen atoms determines the acidic strength of oxoacid. As the electronegativity increases, acidic strength also increases. As the...

(a)Monobasic and a weak Lewis acid
