The type of bond between atoms in a molecule of CO2 (electronegativity difference = ~1)
1 answer:
Carbon dioxide, or 
, is a pure covalent bond.
pure - it's non-polar, because it's a linear & symmetrical bond.
covalent - covalence is when 2 electrons are shared by a pair of atoms. in the case of carbon dioxide, it's three atoms with an oxygen atom on the right, an oxygen atom on the left, and a carbon atom smack in the middle. 2 of carbon's extra electrons are shared with the right oxygen, and 2 other extra atoms are shared with with left oxygen.

Answer : Option A) HF.
Explanation : Assuming the complete question as per the attachment.
H-F bonds are formed because of hydrogen bonding between H atom and F atom and is considered to be strongest amongst the rest other options given.
As given in the table it is clear that the molar mass of HF molecule is the lowest. It shows that, when dispersion increases in the molecule molecular weight also increases.
