Mareli Haas · Answer 1

Option 1, HI.

Because Hydrogen and Iodine has the smallest difference in electronegativities, it will be the least polar bond among these four choices.

-T. B.

Deandre Martin · Answer 2

1. HI

Explanation:

Electronegativity difference gives the magnitude of the bond polarity

Element Electronegativity

H 2.1

I 2.5

F 4

Cl 3

Br 2.8

Compound Polar bond

HI 2.5 - 2.1 = 0.4

HF 4 - 2.1 = 1.9

HCI 3 - 2.1 = 0.9

HBr 2.8 - 2.1 = 0.7
