Use the chart to determine which is an example of a highly polar covalent bond.

Ca – Cl
Fe – O
H – S
F – F

Answer 1

Answer:-

Ca-Cl

Explanation:-

The more the difference in electronegativity more the polar bond.

In case of Ca-Cl the difference = 3.16 - 1= 2.16

It is more than all the other combinations given.

Hence Ca-Cl is the most polar covalent bond.
