Lets find the electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms;

C-H = 2.6-2.2 = 0.4

C-F = 4.0-2.6 = 1.4

F-F = 4.0-4.0 = 0

H-O = 3.4-2.2 = 1.2

Here the electronegativity difference is highest for C-F bond hence C-F bond is most polar.

Colorful fireworks often involve the decomposition of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate and the reaction of the metals magne

Fynjy0 [20]

Fireworks owe their colors to reactions of combustion of the metals present. When Mg and Al burn, they emit a white bright light, whereas iron emits a gold light. Besides metals, oxygen is necesary for the combustion. The decomposition reactions of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate provide this element. At the same time, barium can burn emitting a green light.

(a) Barium nitrate is a salt formed by the cation barium Ba²⁺ and the anion nitrate NO₃⁻. Its formula is Ba(NO₃)₂. Potassium chlorate is a salt formed by the cation potassium K⁺ and the anion chlorate ClO₃⁻. Its formula is KClO₃.

(b) The balanced equation for the decomposition of potassium chloride is:

2KClO₃(s) ⇄ 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

Ba(NO₃)₂(s) ⇄ BaO(s) + N₂(g) + 3O₂(g)

(d) The balanced equations of metals with oxygen to form metal oxides are:
