MCQ
Correct statement is
  • $F -F > Cl -Cl$ bond dissociation energy
  • B
    $HI > HBr > HCl > HF$ thermal stability
  • C
    $HI > HBr > HCl > HF$ reducing power
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$F -F > Cl -Cl$ bond dissociation energy
a
$(a)$ Aqueous hydrolysis of $CCl_4$ is not possible due to absence of vacant  orbital on carbon, while hydrolysis of $MgCl_2, AlCl_3 , SiCl_4$ and $PCl_5$ is  possible. Extent of hydrolysis is proportional to the amount of positive formation  charge present on the atomic site prone to attack of $H_2O$ molecules. $CCl_4 < MgCl_2 < AlCl_3 < SiCl_4 < PCl_5$
