Question

For OF₂ molecule consider the following

(A) Number of lone pairs on oxygen is 2. 

(B) FOF angle is less than o 104.5° . 

(C) Oxidation state of O is –2. 

(D) Molecule is bent ‘V’ shaped. 

(E) Molecular geometry is linear.

Correct options are: 

(1) C, D, E only 

(2) B, E, A only 

(3) A, C, D only 

(4) A, B, D only

Answer 1

(4) A, B, D only

• Two lone pair one oxygen 
• Molecule is ‘v’ shaped 
• Bond angle is less than 104.5°(102º) 
• O·S· of ‘O’ is + 2
