(a) CH,OH,SH\mathrm{C-H}, \mathrm{O-H}, \mathrm{S-H}, (b) CCl,ClCl,HCl\mathrm{C-Cl}, \mathrm{Cl-Cl}, \mathrm{H-Cl}, (c) FF,OF,CF\mathrm{F-F}, \mathrm{O-F}, \mathrm{C-F}, (d) NH,NO,NCl\mathrm{N-H}, \mathrm{N-O}, \mathrm{N-Cl}

PART A:

Calculate the electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen.

2.52.1=0.4\begin{align*} 2.5-2.1 &= 0.4 \end{align*}

Calculate the electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen.

3.52.1=1.4\begin{align*} 3.5-2.1 &= 1.4 \end{align*}

Calculate the electronegativity difference between sulfur and hydrogen.

2.52.1=0.4\begin{align*} 2.5-2.1 &= 0.4 \end{align*}

OH\mathrm{O-H} has the most polar bond because it has the largest electronegativity difference. CH\mathrm{C-H} and SH\mathrm{S-H} have the least polar bond because they have the smallest electronegativity difference.
