Question
**Exercise: Determining the Most Polar Bond Using the Periodic Table**

Use the periodic table provided (not a table of electronegativities) to decide which of the following bonds is likely to be the most polar:

- P−O (Phosphorus-Oxygen)
- Si−O (Silicon-Oxygen)
- N−O (Nitrogen-Oxygen)
- S−O (Sulfur-Oxygen)

**Periodic Table Section Guide:**

This section of the periodic table focuses on Groups 3A to 7A across Periods 2 to 6.

- **Group Labels:**
  - 3A (Boron Group)
  - 4A (Carbon Group)
  - 5A (Nitrogen Group)
  - 6A (Oxygen Group)
  - 7A (Halogens)

- **Elements Included:**
  - 2nd Period: B (Boron), C (Carbon), N (Nitrogen), O (Oxygen), F (Fluorine)
  - 3rd Period: Al (Aluminum), Si (Silicon), P (Phosphorus), S (Sulfur), Cl (Chlorine)
  - 4th Period: Ga (Gallium), Ge (Germanium), As (Arsenic), Se (Selenium), Br (Bromine)
  - 5th Period: In (Indium), Sn (Tin), Sb (Antimony), Te (Tellurium), I (Iodine)
  - 6th Period: Pb (Lead), Bi (Bismuth), Po (Polonium), At (Astatine)

**Choosing the Most Polar Bond:**

Polarity in bonds arises from differences in electronegativity between two atoms. The greater the difference, the more polar the bond. Oxygen (O) is more electronegative than the other elements listed.

Evaluate the difference in periods (across) and groups (down):
- **Phosphorus (P) vs. Oxygen (O)**:  
  Positioned right next to each other in the same period.
  
- **Silicon (Si) vs. Oxygen (O)**:  
  Positioned two groups apart in the same period.
  
- **Nitrogen (N) vs. Oxygen (O)**:  
  Adjacent elements in the same period.
  
- **Sulfur (S) vs. Oxygen (O)**:
