JEE Main Chemistry Question (2026) — Solution
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
Answer
C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Step-by-step solution
In Statement I, the bond angle of F_2O is 103^ , H_2O is 104.5^ , and Cl_2O is 110.9^ . The increasing order of bond angle is F_2O 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
