The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the combination of \( F_2 \) with \( O_2 \) to form \( O_2F_2 \), we will analyze the compound and its classification based on the options provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants and Product:** - The reactants are \( F_2 \) (fluorine gas) and \( O_2 \) (oxygen gas). - The product formed is \( O_2F_2 \). 2. **Determine the Chemical Composition:** - The formula \( O_2F_2 \) indicates that the compound contains two oxygen atoms and two fluorine atoms. 3. **Classify the Compound:** - The compound \( O_2F_2 \) can be classified based on its components: - It contains oxygen and fluorine, which are both nonmetals. - Compounds formed from oxygen and fluorine are typically referred to as oxides of fluorine. 4. **Evaluate the Options:** - **Option 1:** Di-oxygen, di-fluoride - This does not accurately describe the compound as it is not simply a diatomic molecule of oxygen and fluorine. - **Option 2:** Oxides of fluorine - This is a correct classification since \( O_2F_2 \) is indeed an oxide of fluorine. - **Option 3:** Anhydride of HOF - This is not applicable here as \( O_2F_2 \) does not directly relate to HOF (hydrofluoric acid). - **Option 4:** 2 and 3 - This option suggests both oxides of fluorine and anhydride of HOF, but since option 3 is incorrect, this option is also incorrect. 5. **Conclusion:** - The correct classification of \( O_2F_2 \) is as an oxide of fluorine. Therefore, the answer is **Option 2: Oxides of Fluorine**.
