Properties of inter halogen compounds

Properties of inter halogen compounds-

1- They are generally covalent compounds.

2- Their melting point and boiling point increase with the increase in the difference of electronegative.

3- They are more reactive than the Constituent halogens. It is because, the bond between two dissimilar electronegative elements is weaker than two similar electronegative elements.

4- They are good oxidising agents.

5- Chlorofluoro hydrocarbons are known as Freons which are used as a refrigerants.

6- Thermal stability decrease as the electio ngative difference between two halogen atom decrease. For example ,ClF is more stable than IBr.
