Which of the following covalent bonds has the largest dipole moment?
A)C-H
B)C-C
C)C-O
D)H-F

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine which covalent bond has the largest dipole moment, we need to look at the electronegativities of the atoms involved. The greater the difference in electronegativity between the atoms, the larger the dipole moment.

Out of the options given, H and F have the greatest difference in electronegativity, with F being the more electronegative element. Therefore, the H-F bond has the largest dipole moment.
