Question
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The number of species among ${BF}_{4}^{-},{SiF}_{4},{XeF}_{4}$ and ${SF}_{4}$, that have unequal $E - F$ bond lengths is two. Here, E is the central atom.
Statement II: Among $O_{2}^{-},O_{2}^{2 -},F_{2}$ and $O_{2}^{+},O_{2}^{-}$has the highest bond order.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Options
A.Both Statement I and Statement II are false
B.Both Statement I and Statement II are true
C.Statement I is true but Statement II is false
D.Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Solution
In ${BF}_{4}^{-},{SiF}_{4}$ and ${XeF}_{4}$ all bond lengths are identical
| Molecules | B.O. | |
|---|---|---|
| $$O_{2}^{+}$$ | $$\rightarrow$$ | 2.5 |
| $$O_{2}^{-}$$ | $$\rightarrow$$ | 1.5 |
| $$O_{2}^{2 -}$$ | $$\rightarrow$$ | 1 |
| $${\text{ }F}_{2}$$ | $$\rightarrow$$ | 1 |
