Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two electrons (in the 1s orbital) on both carbon and fluorine “shielding” the outer electrons from the full force of the nucleus and due to both atoms being approximately the same size (both period two) then it is this shielding effect and proton difference that is causing the electronegativity difference
