Detailed Solution

Statement Q is incorrect. Because the bond angle of OF2​ and OBr2​ is less than 109.5o.

It is due to the bond pairs of electrons being drawn to fluorine due to its higher electronegative state, there is greater lp-lp repulsion, which reduces the bond angle.

The bond pairs are repelled by the more electronegative oxygen atoms nearby, which causes the bond angle to increase. Steric repulsion is also produced by the larger Br atoms, which raises the bond angle
