Which of the following has the greatest difference of electronegativity?
Correct answer: A. HF
- A. HF
- B. HCl
- C. HBr
- D. HI
Explanation
Considering the electronegativity trends, Down the group electronegativity of elements in the periodic table decreases while the value increases along the period. If we compare using values of electronegativity. So, option A has the greatest electronegativity difference.

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.
