ChemistrySingle correct+4 / -1Question 59 of 75

Given below are two statements :

Statement I : $\ce{F2O}<\ce{H2O}<\ce{Cl2O}$ is the correct trend in terms of bond angle.

Statement II : $\ce{SiF4}$ , $\ce{SnF4}$ and $\ce{PbF4}$ are ionic in nature.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: C

Statement I. Bond angles: $\ce{F2O}$ (≈103°) < $\ce{H2O}$ (104.5°) < $\ce{Cl2O}$ (≈111°). True.

Statement II. $\ce{SiF4}$ is a covalent molecular gas; $\ce{SnF4}$ and $\ce{PbF4}$ are more ionic, but the three are not all ionic. False.

(C)
