Question

Rank the following bonds in order of decreasing polarity: C–F, B–F, O–F.

(Your answer should have the most polar bond first, least polar bond last.)

A) C–F > B–F > O–F B) C–F > O–F > B–F C) O–F > C–F > B–F

D) O–F > B–F > C–F E) B–F > O–F > C–F F) B–F > C–F > O–F

Rank the following bonds in order of decreasing polarity: C–F, B–F, O–F.

(Your answer should have the most polar bond first, least polar bond last.)

A) C–F > B–F > O–F B) C–F > O–F > B–F C) O–F > C–F > B–F

D) O–F > B–F > C–F E) B–F > O–F > C–F F) B–F > C–F > O–F

Explanation / Answer

answer: F) B–F > C–F > O–F

by increasing electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms, bond polarity increases.
