Chemistry Question on Group 17 Elements

KFKF combines with HFHF to form KHF2KHF_2. The compound contains the species:

A

K+,F+K^+, F^+ and H+H^+

B

K+,FK^+, F^- and HFHF

C

K+K^+ and [HF2][HF_2]^-

D

[KHF]+[KHF]^+ and F2F_2

Answer

K+K^+ and [HF2][HF_2]^-

Explanation

Solution

The reaction is:
KF+HFKHF2KF + HF \rightarrow KHF _{2}
It is formed due to HH-bond. K+FHFK ^{+} F ^{-}---- H - F (-- is HH-bond)
So, the compound contains K+K ^{+}and [HF2]\left[ HF _{2}\right]^{-}ions.
