Vedclass · Answer

(B) Interhalogen compounds are generally covalent and diamagnetic in nature. They are more reactive than halogens (except fluorine). Most of them are volatile solids or liquids at $298 \ K$ except $ClF$,which is a gas. Therefore,the statement that they are highly volatile is generally true,but the statement that they are not explosive is incorrect because some interhalogen compounds are known to be explosive.

Which of the following is $NOT$ a characteristic of interhalogen compounds?
