Using Professor Clements' rules for bond polarity (not an electronegativity table), in a bond between F and O (F-O), what can be said about the polarity of the bond and which direction the dipole arrow points?    a. The bond is polar and the dipole points towards the F atom b. The bond is non-polar and has no dipole.   c. The bond is polar and the dipole points towards the O atom. d. The bond is non-polar and the dipole points towards the O atom. e. The bond is non-polar and the dipole points towards the F atom.
