Using VSEPR theory there are 4 electron pairs around the central oxygen , 2 of which are bonding and 2 are lone pairs. These electron pairs repel one another pointing approximately to the corners of a tetrahedron, the bond angle F-O-F would be approx 109.5. Not exactly as the lone pair- bonding pair repulsions are stronger than bonding pair - bonding pair repulsion which would lead to a reduction in the angle. This is observed as the bond angle is known to be 1030

Based on its electronegativity difference which kind of bond is present in the compound OF2?
Based on it's electronegative difference the kind of bond present in the compound OF2 is a Polar covalent bond.
What kind of bond is OF2?
As I originally stated in my original answer, the bonds in a molecule of OF2 are covalent. The electronegativity difference between them, according to the Pauling values is 0.54, which indicates a slightly polar covalent bond, in which Fluorine has the higher electronegativity value.
Which is the covalent bond for OF2 picture?
Without the lone pairs of electrons, it would be F -- O -- F
Is OF2 molecular or ionic?
OF2 is covalent.
What is molecule shape of OF2?
OF2 = Bent structure
Based on its electronegativity difference which kind of bond is present in the compound OF2?
Based on it's electronegative difference the kind of bond present in the compound OF2 is a Polar covalent bond.
What is OF2 molecular shape?
OF2(Oxygen Difluoride) has a V shape just like H2O. The F-O-F angle is 103 degrees.

Which is the covalent bond for OF2 picture?
Without the lone pairs of electrons, it would be F -- O -- F
What type of bond is OF?
The bond between O and F would be a covalent bond (dative/coordinate), if in fact OF existed. More likely it would exist as OF2 (still covalent bonds).
Is OF2 molecular or ionic?
OF2 is covalent.
What is molecule shape of OF2?
OF2 = Bent structure
What is the name of OF2?
What is the name of OF2? The correct answer is oxygen difluoride.
What molecules or ions has a bent shapepcl5 ph3 of2 clo4?
of2
What is the formula for pentaoxygen difluorine?
Formula: O2F2
Is of2 a dipole-dipole interaction?
yes. with 2 lone pairs, OF2 is a dipole interaction
What is the predominant type of intermolecular force in OF2?
Since the covalent bond between sulfur and oxygen is polar, dipole dipole attractions are present as intermolecular forces.
