    The polarity of the covalent bond among the following is maximum in

    A)  F?F  

    B)  0?F

    C)  N?F 

    D)  C?F

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    More the difference between electronegativities of two atoms, more will be the polarity of covalent bond. On moving along a period from left to right electronegativity decreases, thus the order of electronegativities of given elements is \[\underset{\left( 2.5 \right)}{\mathop{C}}\,\,\,\,<\,\,\,\underset{\left( 3.0 \right)}{\mathop{N}}\,\,\,\,<\,\,\,\underset{\left( 3.5 \right)}{\mathop{O}}\,\,\,\,<\,\,\,\underset{\left( 4.0 \right)}{\mathop{F}}\,\] Thus, C?F bond has the maximum polarity.
