Question
Which of the following bonds is the most polar?
A. C-F
B. C-C
C. C-O
D. C-N
I was originally going to pick C-F because F is the most electronegative, but I'm not so sure. Help?

Look up the electronegativity(EN) of each element in the bond, subtract. The largest difference will be the most polar. I didn't look them up but I think you're correct in picking C-F.
