Fluorine compounds bond polarity

Electronegativity differences (A x) between bonded atoms provide a measure of where any particular bond lies on the continuum of bond polarities. Three fluorine-containing substances, F2, HF, and CsF, represent the range of variation. At one end of the continuum, the bonding electrons in F2 are shared equally between the two fluorine atoms (A = 4.0 - 4.0 = 0). At the other limit, CsF (A = 4.0 - 0.7 = 3.3) is an ionic compound in which electrons have been fully transferred to give Cs cations and F" anions. Most bonds,... 

The large value for fluorine, and the marked decrease from fluorine to iodine, are points to be noted. The high value for fluorine means that the bond between an element M and fluorine is likely to be more ionic (more polar) than a bond formed by M with any other elements. The low value for iodine indicates the possibility that iodine may be electropositive in some of its compounds. 

A compound of chlorine and fluorine, CIF, reacts at about 75°C with uranium to produce uranium hexafluoride and chlorine fluoride, C1F. A certain amount of uranium produced 5.63 g of uranium hexafluoride and 457 mL of chlorine fluoride at 75°C and 3.00 atm. What is x Describe foe geometry, polarity, and bond angles of foe compound and foe hybridization of chlorine. How many sigma and pi bonds are there ... 

Since niobates and tantalates belong to the octahedral ferroelectric family, fluorine-oxygen substitution has a particular importance in managing ferroelectric properties. Thus, the variation in the Curie temperature of such compounds with the fluorine-oxygen substitution rate depends strongly on the crystalline network, the ferroelectric type and the mutual orientation of the spontaneous polarization vector, metal displacement direction and covalent bond orientation [47]. Hence, complex tantalum and niobium fluoride compounds seem to have potential also as new materials for modem electronic and optical applications.
