Correct Answer: (c) C-F and N-F<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Polarity in a bond depends on the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms involved. The greater the difference, the more polar the bond. However, when comparing similarity<\/em> in polarity between two bonds, we look for bonds that have similar electronegativity differences<\/strong>, meaning the two bonds share a comparable degree of electron sharing imbalance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s analyze each pair:<\/p>\n\n\n\n a) Mg-F and I-Br<\/strong> b) Pb-O and Na-O<\/strong> c) C-F and N-F<\/strong> d) H-F and Cl-F<\/strong> e) K-Cl and Ni-Cl<\/strong> Thus, C-F and N-F<\/strong> are most similar in polarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Which two bonds are most similar in polarity? a) Mg-F and I-Br b) Pb-O and Na-O c) C-F and N-F d) H-F and Cl-F e) K-Cl and Ni-Cl The Correct Answer and Explanation is: Correct Answer: (c) C-F and N-F Explanation: Polarity in a bond depends on the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-quiz-questions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33771"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33771\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33784,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33771\/revisions\/33784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Magnesium and fluorine have a large electronegativity difference, resulting in a highly polar (and mostly ionic) bond. Iodine and bromine, on the other hand, are both halogens and have similar electronegativities, creating a nearly nonpolar covalent bond. These two are quite different in polarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sodium is a highly electropositive metal, forming a strongly ionic bond with oxygen. Lead and oxygen, although also different in electronegativity, form a bond less ionic than Na\u2013O. Their polarities are not similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carbon has an electronegativity of about 2.5 and fluorine 4.0, giving a difference of 1.5. Nitrogen has an electronegativity of 3.0, resulting in a difference of 1.0 with fluorine. Both C\u2013F and N\u2013F are highly polar covalent bonds<\/strong>, and their electronegativity differences are relatively close. Hence, these two bonds are the most similar in polarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hydrogen and fluorine have a large electronegativity gap, resulting in a very polar bond. Chlorine and fluorine are both halogens and closer in electronegativity, resulting in a less polar bond. These two are not similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Potassium is highly electropositive, forming a very ionic bond with chlorine. Nickel is a transition metal and forms partially covalent bonds with chlorine. Again, these two differ significantly in bond character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-545.jpeg\")
