How can you describe the location of hafnium on the periodic table? choose all that apply. a. transition metals b. noble gases c. group 6, period 4 d. group 4, period 6.and you!

A and D is the correct answer for this question.

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
