yes abhiroop ans is c/....CsBr3 is ionic....& Cs3+ definitely cant exist....Cs being very big can accomodate 3 Br..
but how did u get it is not D....i thought like KI3
I too would have done D ..but actually..I had done this Q earlier so knew the ans...duno the reason for D...
yes abhi i agree with u
i faced a same question in a test and i too marked it D
it was marked wrong
but after gagar's sir's answer
i am convinced that it is D
yaar
gagar sir is a teacher
and i beleive him that he must be right
ok people check my explanation pls
CsBr3 is an ionic cpd becos of the large electronegative difference between Cesium and bromine. so it shud exist as ions.
Moreover Cesium is alkaline metal all alkaline metals shud have oxdn state as +1 but halogens except fluorine can have various oxdn state.
the question is exceptionally tricky but i do also think the ans is c
i think 'mcp' is right...
i dont think here Br- can exist....
Cs being alkaline is +1....n so to balance it the counter part should be Br-3
