The electronegativity difference of the elements can be related to the following property of bonds:
Correct answer: C. Both A & B
- A. Dipole moment
- B. Bond energies
- C. Both A & B
- D. None of these
Explanation
As the electronegativity difference between two atoms of different elements in a bond increases, the bonding pair of electrons is attracted more towards the atom with higher electronegativity; there is a dipole moment. The more polar the bond(higher the electronegativity difference) is higher the bond dissociation energy.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
