10 In a bond between an atom of carbon and an atom of fluorine, the fluorine atom has a
(1) weaker attraction for electrons
(2) stronger attraction for electrons
(3) smaller number of first-shell electrons
(4) larger number of first-shell electrons
The best answer is (2) stronger attraction for electrons, for the fluorine atom has a higher electronegativity than the carbon one, if not highest of all nonmetals. Hope this helps~
