Question

Assertion (A): Interhalogen compounds are generally more reactive than the halogens Cl2, Br2 and I2. Reason (R): The X-X' bond in an interhalogen is weaker than the X-X bonds of those halogens.

Accepted Answer

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer

A is true but R is false

Answer

A is false but R is true
