Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 6
Question 6 - 30 January - Shift 1
For $OF_2$ molecule consider the following
(A) Number of lone pairs on oxygen is 2.
(B) FOF angle is less than $104.5^{\circ}$.
(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
Show Answer
Answer: (4)
Solution:
Formula: Hybrdization
- Two lone pair one oxygen
- Molecule is ’ $v$ ’ shaped
- Bond angle is less than $104.5^{\circ}(102^{\circ})$
- O.S. of ’ $O$ ’ is + 2
