Question
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: $F_{2}O < H_{2}O < {Cl}_{2}O$ is the correct trend in terms of bond angle.
Statement II : ${SiF}_{4},{SnF}_{4}$ and ${PbF}_{4}$ are ionic in nature.
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 true
B.Both Statement I and Statement II are false
C.Statement I is true but Statement II is false
D.Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Bond angle order $F_{2}O < H_{2}O < {Cl}_{2}O$ is correct (Statement I true), but ${SiF}_{4},{SnF}_{4},{PbF}_{4}$ are covalent, not ionic (Statement II false).]
| $${OCl}_{2}$$ | $$111^{\circ}$$ |
|---|---|
| $$H_{2}O$$ | $${104.5}^{\circ}$$ |
| $${OF}_{2}$$ | $$103^{\circ}$$ |
${SiF}_{4}$ is covalent.
