  4. D
    molecule is bent

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

() and () are isoelectronic. is a fluoride of oxygen (Oxygen difluoride), not an oxide of fluorine, because fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen. In nomenclature, the more electronegative element is written last with the suffix '-ide'.. So is the anhydride. has a bent shape due to lone pair-bond pair repulsion.
