Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following compounds would have the most polar bond(s)?
A
BeO (beryllium oxide)
B
HF (hydrogen fluoride)
C
CaCl2 (calcium chloride)
D
MgBr2 (magnesium bromide)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The polarity is created between CsCl because the Cl attracts the valence electrons of Cs towards itself. Hence, The CsCl bond is a polar bond.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since, the electronegativity difference between H and O is maximum, hence, H2O bond is most polar.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The C-F bond has the largest difference between the electronegativities of the atoms so it is the most polar.

Detailed explanation-4: -Calcium chloride consists of ionic bonds: Calcium chloride consists of 1 calcium atom and 2 chlorine atoms.
