ANSWER:Problem 8.85Consider the collection of nonmetallic elements O, P, Te, I and B. (a) Which two wouldform the most polar single bond (b) Which two would form the longest single bond (c)Which two would be likely to form a compound of formula XY (d) Which combinations of 2elements would likely yield a compound of empirical formula X Y . 23Solution 8.85Step-1(a) Which two would form the most polar single bondIt is known that greater the electronegativity difference more will be the polarity. Among all thegiven atoms, B and O can form more polar B-O bond because these two elements has greatestdifference in electronegativity.
