Step 1
5 (Carbon) - 2.1 (Hydrogen) = 0.4 - F-F: 4.0 (Fluorine) - 4.0 (Fluorine) = 0 - H-F: 2.1 (Hydrogen) - 4.0 (Fluorine) = 1.9 - N-O: 3.0 (Nitrogen) - 3.5 (Oxygen) = 0.5 Show more…

Using just a periodic table (not a table of electronegativities), decide which of these is likely to be the most polar bond. Explain your answer. (a) $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{F}$ (b) $\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{F}$ (c) $\mathrm{Si}-\mathrm{F}$ (d) $\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{F}$
Based on their positions in the periodic table, which of the following bonds is the most polar? A) O - F B) C - F C) B - F D) F - F
