MCQ
Which of the following molecule is theoretically not possible?
  • A
    $SF_4$
  • B
    $OF_2$
  • $OF_4$
  • D
    $O_2F_2$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$OF_4$
c
In $\mathrm{OF}_{4}$, oxidation state of oxygen is $+4 .$ But the oxidation states possible for oxygen are -2,-1,+1

and +2

So, $\mathrm{OF}_{4}$ is not a possible molecule.

So, correct answer is option $\mathrm{C}$.
