Question: Of the interhalogen $ AX_3 $ compounds, $ ClF_3 $ is most reactive but $ BrF_3 $ has higher conductance in liquid state. This is because
Options:
A) $ BrF_3 $ has higher molecular mass.
B) $ ClF_3 $ is more volatile.
C) $ BrF_3 $ dissociates into $ BrF_2^{+} $ and $ BrF_4^{-} $ most easily.
D) Electrical conductance does not depend on concentration.
