Two different halogens may react to form interhalogen compounds as
$$\eqalign{
& XX'\left( {ClF,BrF,BrCl,IF,ICl} \right)\,\,\,\,\,{\text{Linear}} \cr
& XX{'_3}\left( {Cl{F_3},Br{F_3},I{F_3},IC{l_3}} \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{Bent }}T{\text{ - shaped}} \cr
& XX{'_5}\left( {Cl{F_5},BrC{l_5},I{F_5}} \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{Square - pyramidal}} \cr
& XX{'_7}\left( {I{F_7}} \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{Pentagonal bipyramidal}} \cr} $$

Which compound is prepared by the following reaction?
\[\underset{\left( 2:1\,\text{volume ratio} \right)}{\mathop{Xe+{{F}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow[673\,K]{Ni}\]
Due to poor or ineffective shielding of the $$n{s^2}$$ electrons of the valence shell by intervening $$d$$ - and $$f$$ - electrons, the $$s$$ - electrons are reluctant to participate in bond formation.

Concentrated $${H_2}S{O_4}$$ is not used to prepare $$HBr$$ from $$KBr$$ because it
When chlorine react with water it gives nascent oxygen which bleaches the coloured substances.
$${H_2}O + C{l_2} \to 2HCl + \left[ O \right]$$
Coloured substance $$ + \left[ O \right] \to $$ Colourless substance

$$B{\left( {OH} \right)_3} + NaOH \to NaB{O_2} + Na\left[ {B{{\left( {OH} \right)}_4}} \right] + {H_2}O$$
How can this reaction is made to proceed in forward direction ?
$${H_3}B{O_3}$$ acts as weak monobasic Lewis acid.
$$B{\left( {OH} \right)_3} + NaOH \to Na\left[ {B{{\left( {OH} \right)}_4}} \right]$$
On addition of $$cis{\text{ - }}1,2{\text{ - }}diol$$ in $${H_3}B{O_3}$$ solution, acidic strength of $${H_3}B{O_3}$$ increases due to chelation effect.
