The interhalogen compound formed from the reaction of bromine with excess of fluorine is a
- a
hypohalite
- b✓
halate
- c
perhalate
- d
halite
halate
Strategy: Determine the formula of the interhalogen compound formed in excess fluorine.
Step 1: Reaction Analysis Bromine reacts with an excess of Fluorine to form Bromine pentafluoride:
Step 2: Classification In the system of oxoacids/salts:
- : Hypohalite
- : Halite
- : Halate
- : Perhalate Since Bromine in is in the oxidation state, its corresponding oxygen-containing relatives (formed on hydrolysis, etc.) belong to the halate category.
