Which of the following bond has the most polar character?
Options:
A .  
C - O
B .  
C - Br
C .  
C - F
D .  
C - S
Answer: Option C : C ∙ Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The polar character depends on the electronegativity difference of the constituent atoms. ∙ Since, carbon (C) is common among all options hence, the polar character of molecules will depend on the electronegativity of other atoms. ∙ 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.
