Interhalogens Defined
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
An interhalogen is a compound of two different halogens, typically one atom of a heavier halogen bonded to an odd number of lighter atoms.
Show
Iodine pentafluoride, IF5, pairs one heavier iodine atom with five lighter fluorine atoms.
Watch for
Interhalogens differ from halide salts formed with metals — both halogen atoms here are nonmetals bonded covalently to each other.
