Firstly, carbon is only very slightly electronegative. Secondly, carbon itself doesn't have a positive inductive effect, you are probably thinking of alkyl groups. There, the excess electrons basically come from the hydrogens attached to the carbons.

Which atom in the molecule C Br is partially positive?

The carbon atom in CBr is partially positive, as bromine is more electronegative than carbon, causing the carbon atom to have a partial positive charge.


Does carbon share electrons?

Carbon only forms covalent bonds, it always shares electons If carbon is bonded to a more electronegative element, the electron pair will be closer to the more electronegative element making carbon the positive end of the bond. If carbon is bonded to a less electronegative element, the electron pair will be closer to the carbon atom making carbon the negative end of the bond.

Is alkyle group is electron withdrawing?

Alkyl groups are generally electron donating due to their inductive effect, where they push electron density towards the rest of the molecule. This is because alkyl groups are less electronegative than carbon and hydrogen, leading to a slight positive charge that can stabilize adjacent negative charges.


Which is the element has strongest electronegative element character?
