Consider the following pairs of atoms. place each set in order of increasing bond polarity. describe the trend. a. li-f na-f k-f rb-f cs-f b. mg-o p-s n-f k-cl al-n

a) Answer is: Li-F, Na-F, K-F, Rb-F, Cs-F.

When the electronegativity difference is greater, the bond polarity is increasing..

Electronegativity (χ) is a property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons.

Atoms with higher electronegativity attracts more electrons towards it, electrons are closer to that atom.

For example fluorine has electronegativity approximately χ = 4 and sodium χ = 0.95, fluorine attracts electron and it has negative charge and sodium has positive charge.

Δχ(Li-F) = 4 - 1 = 3.

Δχ(Na-F) = 4 - 0.95 = 3.05; electronegativity difference between sodium and fluorine.

Δχ(K-F) = 4 - 0.85 = 3.15.

Δχ(Rb-F) = 4 - 0.8 = 3.2.

Δχ(Cs-F) = 4 - 0.75 = 3.25.

b) Answer is: P-S, N-F, Al-N, Mg-O, K-Cl.

Δχ(Mg-O) = 3.5 - 1.3 = 2.2; electronegativity difference between magnesium and oxygen.

Δχ(P-S) = 2.6 - 2.2 = 0.4; electronegativity difference between phosphorus and sulfur.

Δχ(N-F) = 4 - 3 = 1; electronegativity difference between nitrogen and fluorine.

Δχ(K-Cl) = 3.2 - 0.85 = 2.35; electronegativity difference between potassium and chlorine.

Δχ(Al-N) = 3 - 1.6 = 1.4; electronegativity difference between aluminium and nitrogen.

i'm hoping this is like a multiple answer question. if it is then it would be, the location of the plants and also the height of the plants since one she wants to know where in her garden the chamomile grows best. but also to see which plants grew better in the location she also has to measure the plant itself. (if you can only choose one answer than it would be c).
