MCQ
Which of the following statements is correct
  • A
    Only chlorine and bromine form oxy acids
  • B
    All halogens form oxy acids
  • All halogens except fluorine form oxy acids
  • D
    Only iodine form oxy acids

Answer

Correct option: C.
All halogens except fluorine form oxy acids
c
Among the halogens, fluorine does not form oxyacids due to high electronegativity and small size. Fluorine forms only one oxyacid, i.e. $HOF$, hypofluorous acid.
