Which of the following halogen oxide  is used for estimation of carbon monoxide in automobile exhaust gases?

(1) ${\mathrm{Cl}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7$                                 

(2) ${\mathrm{I}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_5$

Only iodine forms hepta-fluoride ${\mathrm{IF}}_7$, but chlorine and bromine give Penta-fluorides. The reason for this is :

(1) low electron affinity of iodine

(2) unusual pentagonal bipyramidal structure of ${\mathrm{IF}}_7$

(3) that the larger iodine atom can accommodate more number of smaller fluorine atom around it 

(4) the low chemical reactivity of ${\mathrm{IF}}_7$

(1) ${\mathrm{NH}}_4{\mathrm{NO}}_2$                                 

(2) ${\mathrm{NaN}}_3$

(3) ${\left({\mathrm{NH}}_4\right)}_2{\mathrm{Cr}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7$                           

(4) All
