  • in interhalogen compound ICl and I2 the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds. 
  • The covalent bond between dissimilar atoms, I and Cl atoms in ICl is weaker than between similar atoms in I2
  • Therefore bond dissociation enthalpy of ICl bond is less than that of I2 bond. Hence ICl is more reactive than I2
