Question

Carbon tetrafluoride, CF4 contains four identical C-F bonds. Fluorine is more electronegative than carbon. How will this impact each of the bonds between carbon and fluorine?

Answer 1

Hi there,

As you Mention within the question, The High tendency of F Provides the Carbon-fluorine bond with a Major polarity. The partial charges on the F and carbon are attractive, causative to the weird bond strength of the carbon-fluorine bond. The bond dissociation energy is more than carbon-halogen or a carbon-hydrogen atom.

Hope it helped.
