Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The most polar bond needs to be identified.
- C-O b. Si-O, c. C-Cl d. C-Br
Concept introduction: Electronegativity is the comparative strength of an atom to pull electrons in a
Answer to Problem 119A
The most polar bond is Si-O.
Explanation of Solution
Electronegativity value of
From the above electro negativity value evaluate the electro negativity difference of each as follows:
Electronegativity difference of C-O is
Electronegativity difference of Si-O is
Electronegativity difference of C-Cl is
Electronegativity difference of C-Br is
Electronegativity of Si-O is highest. Hence, the bond between Si and O is most polar.
During a reaction the type of bond formation is related to each atom’s attraction for electrons.
