Problem

Although the C–F distances and the F–C–F bond angles differ considerably in F2 C = CF2,...

Although the C–F distances and the F–C–F bond angles differ considerably in F2 C = CF2, F2CO, CF4, and F3CO- ( C–F distances 131.9 to 139.2 pm; F–C–F bond angles 101.3° to 109.5°), the distance in all four structures is very nearly the same (215 to 218 pm).

Explain, using the LCP model of Gillespie. (See R. J. Gillespie, Coord. Chem. Rev ., 2000 , 197 , 51.)
