The H-F and the H-I bond have different values for their bond polarity. Which of the following statements correctly identifies the bond that is more polar and gives the correct reason for this difference?(A) The H-F bond is more polar than the H-I bond because iodine is more electronegative than fluorine.(B) The H-F bond is more polar than the H-I bond because fluorine is more electronegative than iodine.(C) The H-I bond is more polar than the H-F bond because iodine is more electronegative than fluorine.(D) The H-I bond is more polar than the H-F bond because fluorine is more electronegative than iodine.
