Question

in a given molecule containing a c - f bond, which atom has a partial negative charge (δ⁻)?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In a C - F bond, fluorine (F) is more electronegative than carbon (C). Electronegative atoms attract the shared electrons in a covalent bond more strongly. As a result, the more electronegative atom (F) has a partial negative charge ($\delta^-$) because it has a greater share of the bonding electrons.

Answer:

A. F
