CHECK THE SOLUTION.

(a,b,c,d)

Thermal stability of AB type compounds increases with increase in electronegativity difference between A and B.

So order is IF > BrF > ClF, true

True

IF 7 + 6H 2 O 7HF + H 5 IO 6

True, All the electrons, bonding or non-bonding, are present in pairs. Hence interhalogen molecules are dianagnetic in nature.

True

Pentagonal bipyramidal.
