Given below are two statements : Statement I : F ₂ O 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
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer
C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Step-by-step solution
In Statement I, the bond angle of F₂O is 103^ , H₂O is 104.5^ , and Cl₂O is 110.9^ . The increasing order of bond angle is F₂O In Statement II, SiF₄ is a covalent compound (it is a gas at room temperature), whereas SnF₄ and PbF₄ are ionic solids. Thus, Statement II is false. Answer: Statement I is true but Statement II is false
