What are interhalogen compounds, and why are they more reactive than pure halogens?
What are interhalogen compounds, and why are they more reactive than pure halogens?
With the combination of two different halogens, the interhalogen compounds are formed. When compared with pure diatomic halogen molecules, they are more reactive because the bond between different halogens are more polar and weaker. During reactions, it makes them more susceptible to bond cleavage.

Why the first elements of each p-block group such as N, O, F show anomalous behavior when compared with the other group members.
Why the first elements of each p-block group such as N, O, F show anomalous behavior when compared with the other group members.
Due to their high electronegativity, small atomic size, greater ability to form multiple bonds, and absence of d-orbitals, the first elements of each group behave differently.
