OF2
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, bond dipole moments in H2O H 2 O get added and give a larger resultant dipole moment while in OF2 O F 2, they cancel out each other, resulting in a smaller overall dipole moment. Thus, H2O H 2 O is more polar than OF2 O F 2 .
Detailed explanation-2: -Water is a Polar Covalent Molecule The unequal sharing of electrons between the atoms and the unsymmetrical shape of the molecule means that a water molecule has two poles-a positive charge on the hydrogen pole (side) and a negative charge on the oxygen pole (side).
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The most polar bond is d. O-H. A polar covalent bond is formed when there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the atoms forming the bond.
