Fluorine reacts with dilute \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) and forms a gaseous product \(A\). The bond angle in the molecule of \(A\) is

  1. A \(104^{\circ} 40^{\prime}\)
  2. B \(103^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(107^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(109^{\circ} 28^{\prime}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(103^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The structure of ' \(A\) ' \(\left(\mathrm{OF}_2\right)\) is as \(\sigma\) bonds made by \(\mathrm{O}=2\) Lone pairs of electrons on \(\mathrm{O}=2\) \(\therefore\) No. of orbitals used by \(\mathrm{O}\) for hybridisation \(=2+2=4\) \(\therefore\) Hybridisation of \(\mathrm{O}\)…
