Which molecule is polar in each of the following pairs ?

To determine which molecule is polar in each of the given pairs, we need to analyze the molecular structure and the electronegativity of the atoms involved. A molecule is considered polar if it has a net dipole moment, which occurs when there is a significant difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms, leading to an uneven distribution of electron density. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **(i) HF, F₂** 1. **HF (Hydrogen Fluoride)**: - Hydrogen (H) has an electronegativity of about 2.1, while Fluorine (F) has an electronegativity of about 4.0. - The difference in electronegativity (ΔEN) is significant (4.0 - 2.1 = 1.9), leading to a polar bond. ...
