How to tell which bond is most polar?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the method or criteria to determine the polarity of chemical bonds, which typically involves understanding electronegativity differences between bonded atoms.

Answer

The greatest difference in electronegativity will correspond to the most polar bond.

The greatest difference in electronegativity will correspond to the most polar bond.

Answer for screen readers

The greatest difference in electronegativity will correspond to the most polar bond.

More Information

Electronegativity is a measure of how strongly atoms attract bonding electrons to themselves.

Tips

A common mistake is to neglect the scale used for electronegativity measurements, such as the Pauling scale, which might result in incorrect evaluations.
