Best Answer

C = 2.5 H = 2.1 Close to the same. C and H would have a tendency form nonpolar covalent bonds.

What is more polar a carbon hydrogen bond or a carbon oxygen bond?

A carbon-oxygen bond is more polar than a carbon-hydrogen bond, because the difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is greater than the difference in electronegativity between carbon and hydrogen.


What type of chemical bond is carbon and hydrogen?

Carbon and Hydrogen bonds together with covalent bonds, as in CH4.


What is the electronegativity of the each of the atoms on estrone?

The chemical formula of estrone is C18H22O2.The electronegativity (Pauling) of oxygen is 3,44; of carbon 2,55; of hydrogen 2,20.


Does methane include a hydrogen bond?

I assume you mean intermolecular hydrogen bonding. No, because carbon is insufficiently electronegative. In contrast, carbon tetrachloride exhibits some hydrogen bonding because of the electronegativity of the chlorine atoms.

What is electronegativity difference between hydrogen and sodium atom?

Electronegativity of hydrogen is 2,20. Electronegativity of sodium is 0,93.


Explain why hydrogen will form an ionic bond with fluorine but only forms covalent bonds with carbon?

because of the electronegativity


Does ch4 have dipole-dipole interactions?

No it doesn't; as there is practically no difference in electronegativity between carbon and hydrogen to create a dipole.


How and why do the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen in water differ from bonds between hydrogen and carbon?

Hydrogen bonding exists between hydrogen and oxygen in water, becuase of the huge electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen. This arises, due to the huge electron affinity of oxygen. Such interaction is not possible between carbon and hydrogen, as athe carbon is not as electronegative as oxygen.


Which chemical bond in the molecule of chloromethane is more polar the carbon-chlorine or carbon-hydrogen bond?

The chemical bond between carbon-chlorine has an electronegativity difference of 0.61. The bond between carbon-hydrogen has a difference of 0.35, thus is less polar than the carbon-chlorine bond.


What is carbon's electronegativity?

Carbon is a non metal.It is in the 14th group of the periodic table. Electronegativity of carbon is 2.5.
