Comparing stability of halide ions
I have to compare stability of halide ions : $\ce{F-},\ce{Cl-},\ce{Br-},\ce{I-}$
I am confused between two factors : As we go down the group , the size of given species increases which spreads the negative charge more ( as incoming electron goes…

Reaction between 2 hydrogen halides
I know that hydrogen halides can react with each other to produce halogen halides.
As an example here is a reaction between $\ce{HCl}$ and $\ce{HF}$:
$$\ce{HCl + HF -> H2 + ClF}$$
As for the mechanism it is like this (taking into account that…

Formation of carbocation on reaction with strong acid in presence of halogen
Shouldn't the carbocation be formed away from the -I effect of the Cl atom for more stability. Backbonding is achieved in a later step after hydride shift.
