The Pauling electronegativity values for selected elements are provided below:
C = 2.5, H = 2.1, N = 3.0, O = 3.5, F = 4.0, Cl = 3.0
If the magnitude of a bond dipole is proportional to the difference in electronegativity (ΔEN) between the two bonded atoms, which single bond listed has a bond dipole magnitude CLOSEST to TWICE that of a C–O bond?
(a) C–F
(b) H–F
(c) N–F
(d) H–Cl
