  • A
    Chlorine
  • B
    Bromine
  • C
    Iodine
  • Correct answer
    D
    Fluorine

Solution

When the halide ions combine with halogen molecules or interhalogen, univalent ions are obtained. These are known as polyhalide ions. Among the given options, F does’t form polyhalide ion because it doesn’t have d-orbitals and cannot show higher oxidation state.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
