Which is true about OF ₂ & Cl ₂ O ?

Options

  1. ABoth are sp ^3 hybridized
  2. BBond angle in OF ₂ less than 109^ 28^
  3. CBond angle in Cl ₂ O is greater than 109^ 28^
  4. DBond angle in both cases are .109^ 28 ]

Correct answer

C. Bond angle in Cl ₂ O is greater than 109^ 28^

Step-by-step solution

Hybridisation of O -atom in both OF ₂ and OCl ₂ is s p^3 . Bond angle in OF ₂ is less than 109^ 28^ because F is more electronegative than O whereas it is more than 109^ 28^ in OCl ₂ becuase O is more electronegative than Cl .
