Question

For $O{F}_2$ 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:

• A. A, C, D only
• B. C, D, E only
• C. B, E, A only
• D. A, B, D only

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

- Two lone pair one oxygen
- Molecule is ' $v$ ' shaped
- Bond angle is less than $104.5^{\circ }\left(102^{\circ }\right)$
- O.S. of 'O' is $+2$
