Question

Statement I: HF₂ ^–ions exist in the solid & liquid state but HCl₂ ^– ions do not exist.
Statement II: Fluorine forms hydrogen bond but chlorine can not.

Easy

A

Statement I and Statement II are true.
B

Statement I is true and statement II is false.
C

Statement I is false and Statement II is true.
D

Statement I and Statement II are false.

Solution

Due to intermolecular H-bonding in between HF molecules, HF₂^- can exist.
But no such H-bonding is possible between HCl molecules due to larger size of Chlorine atoms.
I and II are true
