Charge the plates so that the electric field between them is strong enough to deflect positive or negative atoms. How does the mass of an atom affect the amount a charged atom gets deflected?

answer; ///(d) the correct answer is double or triple

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
