Given below are two statements : Statement I : F _2 O Statement II...

In Statement I, the bond angle of $F_2O$ is $103^{\circ}$, $H_2O$ is $104.5^{\circ}$, and $Cl_2O$ is $110.9^{\circ}$. The increasing order of bond angle is $F_2O < H_2O < Cl_2O$. In $F_2O$, the high electronegativity of fluorine shifts the bond pairs towards fluorine, decreasing bond pair-bond pair repulsion and thus decreasing the bond angle. In $Cl_2O$, steric hindrance between the large chlorine atoms increases the bond angle. Thus, Statement I is true.

In Statement II, $SiF_4$ is a covalent compound (it is a gas at room temperature), whereas $SnF_4$ and $PbF_4$ are ionic solids. Thus, Statement II is false.

Answer: Statement I is true but Statement II is false
