Explanation / Answer
a) In the given atoms O,B forms the polar bonds becausethey have more electronegativity comapre with the otherelements. b) Te,I forms the longest single bond because ,theiratomic radius is very large.When the radius increases , results thelengthy bond. c) O,Te both forms the compounds with molecular formulaXY2 d) B, O forms B2O3 and B ,Te forms B2Te3 d) B, O forms B2O3 and B ,Te forms B2Te3
