A number of substances containing positively polarized carbon atoms have been labeled as "cancer suspect agents" (i.e., suspected carcinogens or cancer-inducing compounds). It has been suggested that the presence of such carbon atoms is responsible for the carcinogenic properties of these molecules. Assuming that the extent of polarization is proportional to carcinogenic potential, how would you rank the compounds with regard to cancer-causing potency?
