Identify the incorrect statements among the following descriptions and provide correct statements: (a) Oxidation of the halides
Question:
Identify the incorrect statements among the following descriptions and provide correct statements:
(a) Oxidation of the halides is the only commercial method of preparing the halogens from F2 to I2.
(b) ClF4− and I5− are isolobal and isostructural.
(c) Atom-transfer processes are common in the mechanisms of oxidations by the halogen oxoanions, and an example is the O atom transfer in the oxidation of SO32− by ClO−.
(d) Periodate appears to be a more facile oxidizing agent than perchlorate because the former can coordinate to the reducing agent at the I(VII) centre, whereas the Cl(VII) centre in perchlorate is inaccessible to reducing agents.
