JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The number of species among \( BF_{4}^{-}, SiF_{4}, XeF_{4} \) and \( SF_{4} \), that have unequal E-F bond lengths is two. Here, E is the central atom.
Statement II: Among \(O _2^{-}, O _2^{2-}, F _2\) and \(O _2^{+}, O _2^{-}\)has the highest bond order.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

  1. A Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  2. B Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  3. C Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  4. D Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(BF _4^{-}, SiF _4\) and \(XeF _4\) all bond lengths are identicalMolecules B.O. \(O _2^{+}\) → 2.5 \(O_2^{-}\) → 1.5 \(O _2^{2-}\) → 1 \(F_2\) → 1
