Answer #1

Since the bond polarity involves pulling of electrons towards itself, hence a more electronegative element will be able to attract the electrons more towards itself. As a result, the electrons will definitely move towards the more electronegative element. The amount of their shifting will depend upon the relative electronegativity of the participating atoms.

K(E.N=0.82) and Li(E.N=0.98) are less electronegative.

Electronegativity of Cl is 3.16 whereas of Br is 2.96. Hence ClK is more polar than LiBr.

Please review and like, if you have any doubt then do comment.
