Passage / Comprehension
Two halogens react to form interhalogens of types AX, AX₃, AX₅ and AX₇, where A is the less electronegative halogen and X the more electronegative halogen.
Which listed interhalogen compound has the maximum number of equal angles?
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Printed C, IF₇. Ideal pentagonal-bipyramidal IF₇ has ten 90°,five 72°,five 144°,one 180° angle pairs. Ideal SF₆ has twelve 90° and three 180° pairs. Thus the largest single set of equal angles is larger for SF₆, B. IF₇ wins only if repeated-angle occurrences across different angle values are totalled: 20 versus SF₆'s 15. The stem does not state that interpretation. Preserve C with this ambiguity, not by claiming more IF₇ 90° angles.
