  • (B) H-Cl
  • (C) H-N
  • (D) H-O
Correct Answer - Option(A)

Explanation by: Madan
Ionic character depends on the electronegativity difference between the bonding elements. The greatest the elctronegativity diffference the greatest the ionic character.

Here in the given options, H-F has has the greatest ionic character. The electronegativity of Hydrogen is 2.1 and that of Fluorine is 4. Now the electronegativity difference is 4 - 2.1 = 1.9.
