MCQ
$\text{ll Cu(II)}$ halides are known except the iodide. The reason for it is that:
  • A
    iodide is a bulky ion.
  • $Cu^{2+}$ oxidizes iodide to iodine.
  • C
    $\text{Cu}^{2+}_\text{(aq)}$ has much more negative hydration enthalpy.
  • D
    $Cu^{2+}$ ion has smaller size.

Answer

Correct option: B.
$Cu^{2+}$ oxidizes iodide to iodine.
All $\text{Cu(II)}$ halides are known except the iodine because $Cu^{2+}$ oxidizes iodine to iodine.
$2 \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}+4 \mathrm{I}^{-1} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{CuI}_{(\mathrm{S})}+\mathrm{I}_2$.
