The Electron Pair in a C-F Bond Could Be Considered

question 121

Multiple Choice

The electron pair in a C-F bond could be considered

• A) an inadequate model because the bond is ionic.
• B) closer to C because carbon has a lower electronegativity than fluorine.
• C) closer to C because carbon has a larger radius and thus exerts greater control over the shared electron pair.
• D) closer to F because fluorine has a higher electronegativity than carbon.
• E) centrally located directly between the C and F.

Definitions:

Axon

The axon is a long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body toward other neurons or to muscles or glands.

Cell Body

The spherical part of a neuron that contains the nucleus and connects to the dendrites, which receive messages, and the axon, which sends them.

Axon

A long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body.

Dendrites

Dendrites are the branched projections of a neuron that act to conduct the electrochemical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell body, or soma, of the neuron from which the dendrites project.
