Question

C-H bonds are usually considered non-polar because the electronegativity value of hydrogen is....?
Options
A not comparable to that of carbon.
B there is a large difference between the two
C similar to that of carbon
Correct Answer
D it is polar
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativity values (C = 2.55, H = 2.20), so the C-H bond is considered essentially non-polar.

Hint

Small electronegativity difference leads to non-polar covalent bonds.
