Question

All of the following have covalent bonds EXCEPT

A) HCl

B) CCl₄

C) H₂O

D) CsF

E) CO₂

Answer

The correct option is D) CsF

All of the following have covalent bonds except CsF (caesium fluoride).

CsF is an ionic compound, i.e. a compound in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. Caesium has the lowest electronegativity of all non-radioactive elements and fluorine has the highest electronegativity of all elements. It is therefore the most ionic compound discovered to be non-radioactive.
