these steric and electronic limitations; meanwhile, the absence of astatine compounds is due to its high radioactivity.

Diatomic interhalogens

The interhalogens of form XY have physical properties intermediate between those of the two parent halogens. The covalent bond between the two atoms has some ionic character, the less electronegative halogen, X, being oxidised and having a partial positive charge. All combinations
