Letter C would be the correct answer
compound name compound formula elements present
water H2O hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O)
ammonia NH3 nitrogen (N) and hydrogen (H)
carbon monoxide CO carbon (C) and oxygen (O)
carbon dioxide CO2 carbon (C) and oxygen (O)
Answer:
D.) H-O
Explanation:
Polarity is determined based on the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. The greater the difference, the more polar the bond. The general trend is that the atoms in the top-right corner of the periodic table are the most electronegative.
A.) is incorrect because H-H has no electronegativity difference, making it nonpolar.
B.) and C.) are incorrect because their electronegativity differences are not the greatest.
D.) is correct because the electronegativity difference between the H and O is the greatest.
