Answer to Question #199968 in General Chemistry for bhumit

Question

Form the covalent bonds between the C and four F atoms tell the bonds they form.

Answer 1

The carbon–fluorine bond is a polar covalent bond between carbon and fluorine that is a component of all organofluorine compounds. It is one of the strongest single bonds in organic chemistry—behind the B-F single bond, Si-F single bond and the H-F single bond, and relatively short—due to its partial ionic character.
