The P Block Elements - Result Question 41
####42. Which of the statements given below is incorrect?
[2015 RS]
(a) $Cl_2 O_7$ is an anhydride of perchloric acid
(b) $O_3$ molecule is bent
(c) $ONF$ is isoelectronic with $O_2 N^{-}$.
(d) $OF_2$ is an oxide of fluorine
Show Answer
Solution:
- (d) $OF_2$; among the following $O$ and $F, F$ is more electronegative than oxygen.
So $OF_2$ cannot be called oxide because in that case fluorine is in +1 oxidation state which is not possible, so $OF_2$ is called oxygen difluoride.
