Question
The compound methylamine, H3C–NH2, contains a C–N bond. In this bond, which of the following best describes the charge on the nitrogen atom?

Detailed Explanation
Nitrogen is more electronegative than carbon, so the C-N bond is polar with the nitrogen having a partial negative charge (δ-) and carbon having a partial positive charge (δ+).
Hint
Which atom in C-N bond is more electronegative?
