Oxygen fluoride is a bent molecule.


What molecules or ions has a bent shapepcl5 ph3 of2 clo4?

PCL5: Trigonal bipyramidal shape PH3: Trigonal pyramidal shape OF2: Bent shape ClO4-: Tetrahedral shape


Is OF2 polar or nonpolar?

OF2 is a polar molecule because of it's bent shape. Fluorine is slightly higher in electronegativity than Oxygen so electrons have a tendency to be in this area. The bent shape means the electrons are shifted to one side and the molecule is polar. Hope it helps


Does OF2 have a bent shape?

Yes


Is oxygen difluoride a polar or nonpolar substance?

Oxygen difluoride (OF2) is a polar molecule. The molecule has a bent shape and the oxygen atom has a higher electronegativity than the fluorine atoms, resulting in an uneven distribution of charge and creating a dipole moment.


Why PH3 and OF2 and HF are polar molecules?

due to the difference in the between the two atoms in the molecule


What is OF2 molecular shape?

The molecular shape of OF2 is angular or bent due to the presence of two lone pairs on the oxygen atom. This causes repulsion between the lone pairs and the bonded fluorine atoms, resulting in a bent molecular geometry.


Which molecules of ions has a bent shape out of ClO4 PH3 OF2 PCl5?

BeCl2


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.


What electronic geometry will OF2 adopt?

OF2 will adopt a bent or V-shaped geometry due to the presence of two lone pairs on the oxygen atom, resulting in a molecular shape that is angular.


What is the formula for the covalent molecule that would form between O and F?

Oxygen and fluorine can form two different molecules. One is oxygen difluoride (OF2), and the other is dioxygen difluoride (O2F2).
