Question

Similarity of fluorine and oxygen may not be attributed to?

• A. Their atomic and ionic radii are closely similar.
• B. The atom of both elements attain an octet of electrons in their valence shell
• C. Both of them are highly electronegative elements.
• D. Both form stable $p\pi -p\pi$ multiple bonds with themselves.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Their atomic and ionic radii are closely similar.

'Atomic radius of fluorine is 42 pm whereas atomic radius of oygen is 48 pm .Thus there atomic radius are not similar.'
