<img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-ghnhybchtz3f.png" /> x1>x2 According to Bent's rule in O2F2 , there is more p-character in O-F bond in comparison to O-H bond in H2O2; hence s-character in O-O bond is greater in O2F2 .

Q. $O_{2} F_{2}$ is an unstable yellow orange solid and $H_{2} O_{2}$ is colourless liquid. $O - O$ bond length in $H_{2} O_{2}$ and $O_{2} F_{2}$ respectively are

$1 .22 \overset{˚}{A}, 1 .48 \overset{˚}{A}$

$1 .48 \overset{˚}{A}, 1 .22 \overset{˚}{A}$

$1 .22 \overset{˚}{A}, 1 .22 \overset{˚}{A}$

$1 .48 \overset{˚}{A}, 1 .48 \overset{˚}{A}$

$x_{1} > x_{2}$

According to Bent's rule in $O_{2} F_{2}$ , there is more p-character in $O - F$ bond in comparison to $O - H$ bond in $H_{2} O_{2};$ hence s-character in $O - O$ bond is greater in $O_{2} F_{2}$ .
