Which answers show the bonds in order of decreasing polarity (least polar to most polar)? Group of answer choices P-Cl, As-Cl, N-Cl As-Cl, N-Cl, P-Cl P-Cl, N-Cl, As-Cl As-Cl, P-Cl, N-Cl N-Cl, P-Cl, As-Cl

The order of decreasing bond polarity (most polar to least polar):

As-Cl, P-Cl, N-Cl

Also, the order of increasing bond polarity (least polar to most polar):

N-Cl, P-Cl, As-Cl

Explanation:

Polar bonds are the chemical bonds in which the electrons are not shared equally between the two atoms due to the difference in electronegativity.

As the electronegativity difference increases, the polarity of the chemical bond increases.

In a periodic table, electronegativity of the elements increases across the period and decreases down the group. Thus, among the given elements, chlorine (Cl) is the most electronegative element, followed by nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and arsenic (As).

The electronegativity values of the following elements are:

Cl = 3.16

N = 3.04

P = 2.19

As = 2.18

Since, the difference in electronegativity is maximum between As and Cl, thus the As-Cl bond is the most polar bond.

Also, the difference in electronegativity is minimum between N and Cl, thus the N-Cl bond is the least polar bond.

Therefore, the order of decreasing bond polarity (most polar to least polar):

As-Cl, P-Cl, N-Cl

Also, the order of increasing bond polarity (least polar to most polar):

N-Cl, P-Cl, As-Cl

when—without warning—something provokes your anger, you may struggle not to succumb to it. since what typically makes you mad is feeling powerless in the face of what seems unfair, your anger is mostly an attempt at a “quick fix” to right the balance. it’s as though you’re raising a fist in protest, proclaiming that you’re not going to capitulate to such injustice.

there are, however, a multitude of problems related to this immediate, push-back reaction of anger. and probably the key one is that almost never does it resolve the issue that gave rise to it. such reactive anger is probably best understood as self-defeating. as david burns, the author of the seminal self- book feeling good, observes: if realistically, acting on your anger is to make any sense, it needs to meet two criteria—which, in almost every case, is frankly impossible. that is, your anger must:

be directed toward a person who has intentionally (and needlessly) behaved in a hurtful way toward you; and

be beneficial or advantageous to you (i.e., assist you in achieving a desired goal).

i think you’ll agree that only rarely can you claim that your anger is both warranted and , whether to yourself or the relationship.

so let me offer you a two-step alternative to abandoning your better judgment and giving in to the temptation of anger—one that should neutralize your anger in seconds. or, when you’re really angry, in minutes.

but keep in mind that you must really want to execute these steps, be sufficiently motivated to perform them. which means overcoming more unconscious resistance than you might ever have imagined. because there are many immediate “advantages” of anger that can interfere with your resolve, i’ll suggest a few of them that might interfere with your employing this powerful method to rid yourself of counter-productive anger.
