why F2O referred to as a fluoride but Cl2O is an oxide?

Show by a chemical reaction with water that Na_(2)O is a basic oxide and Cl_2O_(7) is an acidic oxide.

Show by chemical with water that Na_(2) O is a basic oxide and CI_(2)O_(2) is an acidic oxide.

The bond angle of Cl_(2)O is:

The formation of O_(2)^(+)[PtF_(6)]^(-) is the basis for the formation of xenon fluorides. This is because:

Why is the electron gain enthalpy of O or F less than that of S or Cl?

Higher oxidation state of manganese in fluoride is +4 (MnF_(4)) but highest oxidation state in oxides is +7(Mn_(2)O_(7)) because

Higher oxidation state of manganese in fluoride is +4 (MnF_(4)) but highest oxidation state in oxides is +7(Mn_(2)O_(7)) because

Explain the following giving an appropriate reason in each case. (i) O_(2) and F_(2) both stabilize higher oxidation states of metals but O_(2) exceeds F_(2) in doing so. (ii) Structure of Xenon fluorides cannot be explained by Valence Bond approach.

60ml of mixture of equal volumes of Cl_(2) and an oxide of chlorine, i.e., Cl_(2)O_(n) was heated and then cooled back to the original temperature. The resulting gas mixture was found to have volume of 75ml . On treatment with KOH solution, the volume contracted to 15ml . Assume that all measurements are made at the same temperature and pressure. Deduce the value of n in Cl_(2)O_(n) . The oxide of Cl_(2) n heating decomposes quantiatively to O_(2) and Cl_(2) .

[A]: Oxidation of H_2O takes place during pho- tosynthesis. [R]: Photosynthesis is an oxidation-reduction process where H_2O is oxidised to O_2 and CO_2 is reduced to (CH_2O)_(n) ·
