Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
Of the bonds below, ________ is the least polar.
**Options:**
- ○ C–O
- ○ C–F
- ○ N–O
- ○ S–O
- ○ K–Br
**Explanation:**
When evaluating the polarity of bonds, it is essential to consider the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms involved in the bond. The greater the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond. Conversely, a smaller difference in electronegativity indicates a less polar bond. Understanding these differences can help in determining which bond is the least polar among the given options.
