Question

Given below are two statements : Statement I: Chlorine can easily combine with oxygen to form oxides; and the product has a tendency to explode. Statement II : Chemical reactivity of an element can be determined by its reaction with oxygen and halogens. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b) : Oxides of chlorine are highly reactive and have tendency to explode.\ Chemical reactivity of elements is determined by accepting or removing the electrons.\ $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{F}_{2}$ react with most of the elements, thus can be used to determine the chemical reactivity order.\
