Account for the following:
For protecting electrical instruments, neon is generally used in safety devices.
Inter-halogen compounds more reactive than the corresponding elemental hydrogen because interhalogen are weaker than diatomic halogen bond except for F2.
It is due to their differences in electronegtivies. A substance like ICl is more reactive than Ioinde(I2) because the electronegtive difference polarise the bond between Iodine and chlorine and therefore breaks more easily.
How would you account for the following:
Hydrogen fluorine is much less volatile than hydrogen chloride.
