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
