    You forget to include the pair of atoms. But I found similar questions that asks about the following pairs:

    H - S

    H - Cl

    N - H

    O - H

    C - H

    To be able to answer, we must find out the electronegativity of each atom

    Electronegativity of H = 2.2

    Electronegativity of S = 2.58

    Electronegativity of N = 3.04

    Electronegativity of Cl = 3.16

    Electronegativity of O = 3.5

    Electronegativity of C = 2.55

    Since all these atoms are paired with H, and they all have electronegativity greater than H, the atom with the highest electronegativity (O) would pair with H to have the greatest electronegativity difference.

    The answer is therefore, O - H
