Is Cl a stronger base than Br?

yes it is, because HBr is a stronger acid than HCl, therfore, HBr will have a weaker conjugate base, Br, than HCl, Cl


Is Cl or Br a stronger base?

They are both strong acids/weak bases however Br is the stronger acid and by that definition the weaker base.


Why F-F bond is weaker than Cl-Cl bond?

bond energy (in kJ/mol) F-F:158 Cl-Cl: 244 Hence, in order of decreasing bond strength: Cl-Cl => => (F-F) => Fluorine is an anomaly. Bond strength decreases from chlorine to iodine as down the group, the atomic size becomes larger and thus the valence electron orbitals become more diffused, causing the overlap of orbitals to become less effective. Therefore the halogen-halogen bond becomes weaker. Fluorine is an exception due to its extremely small size. The F-F bond length is so short that the lone pairs of electrons on the fluorine atoms repel each other and weakens the F-F bond. I hope that answers your question.


Is Cl acid or base?

Cl is the symbol for the chloride ion, which is the conjugate base of hydrochloric acid (HCl). Therefore, Cl is a base.


PF3Cl2 is a nonpolar molecule What is the f-p-f bond angle cl-p-cl angle bond and the f-p-cl angle bond?

the f-p-f bond angle is 120the cl -p-cl bond angle is 180and the f - p - cl bond angle is 90


Why phenol chloride is more acidic in nature than phenol flouride?

in Cl the resonance occurs from 3p orbitals but in F resonance occurs from 2p orbitals due this reason F increase electron density in conjugate base more as compare to Cl .


What has the largest atomic radius F F Cl or Cl?

Chlorine has a larger atomic radius than fluorine. This is because chlorine has its outermost electrons in the 3rd energy level, which is farther from the nucleus, and fluorine has its outermost electrons in the 2nd energy level, which is closer to the nucleus.

Why KHF2 exists but KHCl2 does not?

F being more electronegative than Cl makes a stronger HF2 (hydrogen di fluoride bond ) so ......HF2 exists - Arkajyoti


What is the oxidation number of Cl in ClF3?

The oxidation number of Cl in ClF3 is +3. This is because fluorine (F) is more electronegative than chlorine (Cl) and will take on an oxidation number of -1, leaving chlorine with an oxidation number of +3 to balance the overall charge of the compound.


Identify the smaller ion F or Cl?

The smaller ion is F.


What is the conjugate acid pair of Cl?

HCL is the conjugate acid pair of Cl. And Cl is the conjugate base pair of HCl.
