Question
Which of the following bonds are polar? (a) $\mathrm{B}-\mathrm{F}$ (b) Cl-Cl, (c) Se-O, (d) H-I. Which is the more electronegative atom in each polar bond?
Step 1
A bond is polar if there is a difference in electronegativity between the two atoms involved in the bond. The atom with the higher electronegativity will pull the shared electrons closer to itself, creating a partial negative charge on that atom and a partial Show more…
