Question

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Stability of  (halogen monoxides):

The stability depends on the X–O bond strength and the tendency of the oxide to decompose.

| Oxide | Stability |
|---|---|
|  | Most stable (I–O bond, I is large, less electronegative) |
|  | Moderately stable |
|  | Least stable (Br₂O is very unstable, decomposes readily) |
