As carbon bonds with atoms of increasingly higher electronegativities, the polarity of the bond

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The polarity of a bond is determined by the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms involved in the bond. As the electronegativity of the atom to which carbon is bonded increases, the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms also increases, resulting in a bond with higher polarity. Therefore, the answer is (D) increases.
