JEE Main 2026 — 6 April, Evening Shift — Question 53

Given below are two statements :

Statement I: $\mathrm{F}_{2} \mathrm{O}<\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}<\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ is the correct trend in terms of bond angle.

Statement II : $\mathrm{SiF}_{4}, \mathrm{SnF}_{4}$ and $\mathrm{PbF}_{4}$ are ionic in nature.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text{Species} & \text{Bond angle} \\ \hline \ce{OCl2} & 111^\circ \\ \hline \ce{H2O} & 104.5^\circ \\ \hline \ce{OF2} & 103^\circ \\ \hline \end{array} $$ $\mathrm{SiF}_{4}$ is covalent.
