To get this it helps to know the electronegativity numbers of the elements but it isn't required. You just need to know that Fluorine is the most electronegative element and that the farther away from Fluorine you are on the periodic table, the less electronegative you get.  The one exception to this rule is hydrogen with actually has an electronegativity of 2.1 while lithium has one of 1.0.  Also the higher difference in electronegativity between two atoms the more polar the bond is.  

Now to start the question.  H-Br could be a contender since H has an electronegativity number of 2.1 and Br is relatively close to Fluorine so we'll put that one aside for now.  H-Cl knocks out A because both bonds have H but one bond has Br and the other has Cl.  Cl is closer to Fluorine than Br so answer B is the contender now.  For answer C, I and Br are too close to have a higher electronegativity difference than H-Cl so that one isn't it.  Finally for answer D, I is much closer to Cl than H is so the electronegativity difference is much less, making your answer B.

What is the octet rule?
PolarNik [594]

The Octet rule is a general rule of thumb that applies to most atoms. Basically, it states that every atom wants to have eight valence electrons in its outermost electron shell.

2NO + 3MnO2 + 4H â 2NO3- + 3Mn2 + 2H2O For the above redox reaction, assign oxidation numbers and use them to identify the eleme
mixer [17]

Answer:

Manganese decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and nitrogen increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given redox reaction, we rewrite it as a convenient first step:

2NO + 3MnO_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2NO_3^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H_2O

Next, we assign the oxidation numbers as follows:

2N^{2+}O^{2-} + 3Mn^{4+}O^{-2}_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2(N^{5+}O^{2-}_3)^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H^+_2O^{2-}

Thus, we can see that both manganese and nitrogen undergo a change in their oxidation number, the former decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and the latter increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Regards!
