Which pair of atoms has the highest electronegativity difference? (Calcium's electronegativity is 1.0 Fluorine's electronegativity is 4.0 Hydrogen's electronegativity is 2.2 Sodium's electronegativity is 0.93)

Correct Answer: Na-F

Explanation:

F-F = 4 - 4 = 0


Ca-F = 4 - 1 = 3.0


H-F = 4 - 2.2 = 1.8


Na-F = 4 - 0.93 = 3.07


 


Hence, the highest electronegativity difference is in Na-F.
