Question

III
OCl2OF2
The bond angle is greater in OCl2 than in OF2 because there is some π interactions in OCl2 involving donation from the filled p-orbitals on oxygen into the empty d-orbitals on chlorine No π-bonding is possible for OF2 because all orbitals are filled on both atoms.
If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Solution

The bond angle between a single bond and a multiple bond is higher than the bond angle between two single bonds due to electron electron repulsion.
The bond angle is greater in OCl2 than in OF2 because there is some π interactions in OCl2 involving donation from the filled p-orbitals on oxygen into the empty d-orbitals on chlorine No π-bonding is possible for OF2 because all orbitals are filled on both atoms.
The statement is true. Hence, the answer is 1.
