Answer:

By comparing the bonds between C-H and O-H, the O-H bond has the greatest degree of polarity.

Explanation:

Based on bond electronegative values which is a measure of the ability of a atom in a chemical bond to pull the shared electrons closer to its self.

The electronegativity of an element characterizes the elements chemical reaction.

From the available bonds

Oxygen has an electronegativity value of 3.44 and Carbon 2.55, while Hydrogen has an electronegativity value of 2.20

Therefore the bond between carbon and hydrogen is much less polar than between oxygen and hydrogen.

The bond between oxygen and hydrogen has the greatest polarity.

jonny [76]

To balance the the chemical reaction, the number of moles per element is balance is both side of the reaction and also the charge in both sides of the reation. to balnce the reaction:

S2O3 2- + Cu 2+ ---> S4O6 2- + Cu+

2S2O3 2- + Cu 2+ ---> S4O6 2- + Cu+ + e
