It's only a small difference (103 degrees versus 104 degrees in water),
and I believe the usual rationalization is that since F is more
electronegative than H, the electrons in the O-F bond spend more time
away from the O (and close to the F) than the electrons in the O-H bond.
That shifts the effective center of the repulsive force between the
bonding pairs away from the O, and hence away from each other. So the
repulsion between the bonding pairs is slightly less, while the
repulsion between the lone pairs on the O is the same -- the result is
the angle between the bonds is a little less.
Hope this helps!
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
In material bonding, there occurs Vander waal foces between the molecules in which their is either an induced or permanent dipole moment that attract molecules towards each other.
And, due to these forces the molecules are held together.
On the other hand, in a ionic bond there will always be transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This is because on atom which loses its valence electrons acquires a positive charge and another atom which gains the electrons acquires a negative charge.
Hence, these opposite charges strongly gets attracted towards each other forming a strong bond.
Whereas in a covalent bond, there will be sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.
In a metallic bond, there occurs a sea of electrons which is uniformly distributed throughout the solid substance or material.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement, Van der Waals bonds are formed by Van der Waals forces in which molecules or atoms have either an induced or permanent dipole moment to attract each other, about material bonding is correct.

Glass is not a living organism, so it is <u>abiotic</u>.
The color is an effect as a result of different wavelengths and frequencies of the light waves. So, color is a property of an object that depends on the wavelength. From all the given statements the following is true: T<span>he color depends upon the lighting source. More precisely, the color depends upon the wavelength of the lighting source.</span>
