Question

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

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The electronegativity of carbon is about 2.55 and hydrogen is about 2.20. The difference is small (0.35), so the C-H bond is generally considered nonpolar or very weakly polar.

Hint

Small difference in electronegativity means low polarity.
