Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): is more reactive than . Reason (R): bond is weaker than bond. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
(A) is correct but (R) is not correct
(A) is not correct but (R) is correct
In general, interhalogen compounds are more reactive than halogens (except fluorine). This is because bond in interhalogens is weaker than bond in halogens except bond. Therefore is more reactive than because of weaker bond then bond.
