A
Q15. Assertion: Chlorine and Sulphur dioxide both are bleaching agents.
Reason: The bleaching action of chlorine and sulphur dioxide is performed through the process of oxidation.
C
Q16. Assertion: Fluorine is a stronger oxidizing agent than chlorine.
Reason: It has (i) low enthalpy of dissociation of F F bond and (ii) high hydration energy.
A
Q17. Assertion: Most of the reactions of fluorine are exothermic.
Reason: Fluorine atom is smaller in size and forms strong bonds with other elements.
A
Q18. Assertion: All halogens display different colours.
Reason: All halogens absorb different radiations in visible region and excite electrons to higher energy level.
A
Q19. Assertion: Halogens are more reactive then interhalogens.
Reason: Bond in the interhalogens (X Y) is weaker then X X bond in the halogens.
