In which of the following compounds does the bond between the central atom and fluorine have the greatest ionic character? A) SF₂ B) SeF₂ C) OF₂ D) SbF₃ E) AsF₃

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ionic character of a bond is determined by the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms. Fluorine is highly electronegative, and among the central atoms listed, antimony (Sb) has the lowest electronegativity, resulting in the greatest difference and thus the greatest ionic character in SbF₃.
