Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To arrange the molecules \( OF_2 \), \( Cl_2O \), and \( Br_2O \) in decreasing order of their bond angles, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the molecular geometry of each compound - **For \( OF_2 \)**: - Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, and each fluorine has 7. - In \( OF_2 \), oxygen forms 2 bonds with fluorine and has 2 lone pairs. - The steric number is 4 (2 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs), leading to a bent geometry. ...
