True or False. A bond between a chlorine atom (electronegativity = 3.0) and a fluorine atom (electronegativity = 4.0) will be a polar covalent bond.

Question

Just true or false. No need for explanation if it's too much to explain. Thank you

Answer 1

True.

A brief explanation: It is a covalent bond because the Cl and F share electrons that form the bond. It is a polar bond because the electronegativity values are different. The greater the difference, the greater the degree of polarity.
