Solution

To determine which two atoms form the most polar bond, we need to look at the electronegativity values of the atoms involved. Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The greater the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond.

Here are the approximate electronegativity values for the atoms in question:

  • Carbon (C): 2.55
  • Fluorine (F): 3.98
  • Chlorine (Cl): 3.16
  • Silicon (Si): 1.90

Now, let's calculate the difference in electronegativity for each pair:

A. C and F: 3.98 - 2.55 = 1.43 B. C and Cl: 3.16 - 2.55 = 0.61 C. Si and F: 3.98 - 1.
