Using the VSEPR theory, identify the type of hybridisation and draw the structure of `OF_(2)`.What are the oxidation states of `O` and `F`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electron dot structures of `OF_(2)` is
Thus , the central atom (O-atom) has 4 pairs of electrons (2bond paris ). Hence oxygen in
`OF_(2) is sp^(2)` hybridised and the molecular is V-shaped .
Oxidation state of F = - 1 Oxidation state of O = + 2 .
