Question

The chemical reactivity increases for the

seriesCF4 forthis?
a) The availability of d- orbitals for the non - C atom.
b) The decrease in bond polarity from C-F to C-I.
c) The increase in bond polarity from C-F to C-I.
d) The increase in size for the non-C atom.

Answer 1

D) The increase in size for the non-C atom

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the Halogens, chemical reactivity decreases from F to I and also Atomic sizes increases from F to I. The bond length formed between C and The halogens decreases in strength from CF to CI which means the stronger the bond, the less reactive the compound.
