Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following covalent bonds is the most polar?
A
H ____ Cl
B
S ____ F
C
Si ____ O
D
P ____ Br
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -∙ Fluorine is the most electronegative element. Hence, maximum electronegativity difference is seen in carbon and fluorine (C-F). Thus, the C-F bond has the most polar character.

Detailed explanation-2: -Here you can find the meaning of Which of the following is most polar bond:a)S–Clb)Se–Clc)S–Brd)Se–BrCorrect answer is option ‘B’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, the C−O bond is most polar.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The C-F bond has the largest difference between the electronegativities of the atoms so it is the most polar.
