The correct answer is statement 3, the difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is greater than that between fluorine and oxygen. The most polar bond is the one with the highest difference in electronegativity values between two atoms. In this case, the C-O bond.

Answer: (3) The difference in electronegativity between  carbon and oxygen is greater than that  between fluorine and oxygen.

Explanation: Polarity of a molecule is due to the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. More is the electronegativity difference, more is the polarity.

Electronegativity of carbon = 2.5

Electronegativity of oxygen = 3.5

Electronegativity of fluorine = 4.0

Thus the difference in electronegativity of carbon and oxygen is=(3.5-2.5)= 1.0

Thus the difference in electronegativity of fluorine and oxygen is=(4.0-3.5)= 0.5.

Thus C-O bond is more polar than F-O bond.

What can you tell me about the charge signs on the spheres
bazaltina [42]
<span>A similar thing occurred with the circles as did with the electroscope. When we initially brought the charged pole close to, the bar pulled in the circle since it was of polarization. At that point, once the bar touched the circle, the pole repulsed the circle. This is on the grounds that once the pole and circle touched, the electrons exchanged thus did the protons, consequently leaving the circle with a positive net charge. The nearer the bar is to the circle the more it repulsed, however, it didn't influence the charge of the circle once the circle was touched by the pole.</span>

Explain why the atomic number is called the fingerprint of element
Dovator [93]

Answer:

No element shares the same atomic number. The atomic number of every element is unique to itself, just like a fingerprint is unique to a human. The atomic number of element allows us to identify it, like how we can identify a person from their fingerprint.
