The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is incorrect, we need to analyze each option provided. Let's go through them step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A **Statement A:** ONF is isoelectronic with O2N⁻. - **Count the electrons in ONF:** - Oxygen (O) has 8 electrons. - Nitrogen (N) has 7 electrons. - Fluorine (F) has 9 electrons. Total for ONF = 8 (O) + 7 (N) + 9 (F) = 24 electrons. - **Count the electrons in O2N⁻:** - Oxygen (O) has 8 electrons, and there are 2 Oxygens: 2 × 8 = 16 electrons. - Nitrogen (N) has 7 electrons. - The negative charge (−1) adds an additional electron. Total for O2N⁻ = 16 (from O) + 7 (from N) + 1 (from charge) = 24 electrons. Since both ONF and O2N⁻ have 24 electrons, they are isoelectronic. Therefore, Statement A is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement B **Statement B:** OF2 is an oxide of fluorine. - **Understanding OF2:** - Fluorine (F) is more electronegative than oxygen (O). - Therefore, OF2 should be considered as fluoride of oxygen, not oxide of fluorine. Since this statement is incorrect, Statement B is the **incorrect statement**. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement C **Statement C:** Cl2O7 is an anhydride of perchloric acid. - **Understanding Cl2O7:** - Perchloric acid (HClO4) can lose water to form Cl2O7. - Removing water from 2 moles of HClO4 results in Cl2O7. This statement is **correct**. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement D **Statement D:** O3 molecule is a species. - **Understanding O3:** - Ozone (O3) is indeed a triatomic molecule. - It has a bent structure with a bond angle of approximately 116.8 degrees. This statement is also **correct**. ### Conclusion The only incorrect statement among the options is **Statement B**: OF2 is an oxide of fluorine. ### Final Answer **The incorrect statement is Statement B: OF2 is an oxide of fluorine.** ---
