Which of the following has the greatest electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms? view available hint(s) which of the following has the greatest electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms? a strong acid made of hydrogen and a halogen, such as hcl a group 1 alkali metal bonded to fluoride, such as lif. carbon bonded to a group 6a (16) nonmetal chalcogen, such as in co a diatomic gas, such as nitrogen (n2).

A group 1 alkali metal bonded to fluoride, such as LiF.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the property of an element to attract a shared pair of electron towards itself. The size of an atom increases as we move down the group because a new shell is added and electron gets added up.

1. A strong acid made of hydrogen and a halogen, such as HCl : A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms. Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of hydrogen = 3-2.1= 0.9

2. A group 1 alkali metal bonded to fluoride, such as LiF: Ionic bond is formed when there is complete transfer of electron from a highly electropositive metal to a highly electronegative non metal.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of fluorine - electronegativity of lithium= 4-1= 3

3. Carbon bonded to a group 6A (16) nonmetal chalcogen, such as in CO: A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of oxygen - electronegativity of carbon= 3.5-2.5= 1.0

4. A diatomic gas, such as nitrogen : Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = 0

Thus the greatest electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms is in LiF.

zfoods? ok, pressure is used to keep the heat inside and to keep the food perfect.

c. because step up transformer steps up the input voltage i.e increases the input voltage  

the number of turns are greater on the secondary side of step up transformer  

transformer does not handle dc current
