Which of these pairs of atoms would experience a polar covalent bond?rncs and FrnC ans CrnSe and SrnN and as
Accepted Answer
Cs and F would experience a polar covalent bond. Polar covalent bonds occur between atoms with a significant difference in electronegativity. Fluorine (F) is the most electronegative element, while Cesium (Cs) is one of the least electronegative. This large difference in electronegativity results in a bond where the electron pair is pulled more strongly towards the fluorine atom, creating a partial negative charge on the fluorine and a partial positive charge on the cesium.
