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